lpv:translated text	"Question No 42 by Bart Staes (): On 12 June 2003 the Flemish weekly Trends reported that the public prosecutor's office in Antwerp, Belgium had instituted an investigation into two exporters of European food surpluses to Africa (Soafrimex and Afroliner) and their alleged involvement in tax fraud, money laundering and suspected diamond trafficking. The branches of the two companies in Congo place (European) foodstuffs on the market at dumping prices. The development project CDI-Bwamanda, for its part, states that local agriculture has to contend with far too high general costs. The European Commission, among others, purchases maize locally for double the price as farming is so inefficient, Trends points out. However, the FAO considers that Congo has the potential to feed some 2 billion people. Does the Commission have further information concerning the apparent fraud being conducted from Antwerp involving European food surpluses and is it prepared, in the light of the exceptionally (!) high level of need, to put extra resources into developing local agriculture and consequently to gradually reduce European food exports to the region?"@en1
