"Mr President, Commissioner, two contrasting worlds coexist on our planet. In one of these worlds, hunger, AIDS and poverty are rampant. In the other, the world we live in, people die from high cholesterol. On the one hand, there is the developed world, bent on identifying axes of evil and launching wars which can only result in further devastation and poverty. On the other, we see a world crying out for someone to assume the leadership of an axis of good which would make food and medicine freely available and eliminate the barriers to free trade whilst promoting sustainable internal development to ensure self-sufficiency. Export refunds for surplus production destined to the poorest countries is the cruellest of all our policies. It runs counter to solidarity and should only be applied in the case of over-protected and more developed markets. Hypocrisy cannot be condoned though. We must not cast all responsibility on to the weakest sector in Europe, namely the traditional European agricultural sector, which has the lowest income in the Community. It is not for this sector to provide solutions to the problem of world hunger."@en1
