".
The only reason we voted for this proposal for a regulation was because if we had voted against it that might have suggested agreement with those who are opposed even to this minimum aid to poor countries.
Having said that, these proposals are inadequate, cynical and hypocritical. For anyone to pretend, for example, that this aid can ‘contribute to world food security’ and ‘respond to emergency food situations and other food needs’ when several hundred of millions of people in the world find themselves in emergency situations, if not in extreme distress, mainly because the European powers represented here in Parliament plundered them in the past, is a cheap attempt to salve their conscience."@en1
