I voted in favour of the resolution on the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived persons in the European Union. Since 1987 the scheme for food distribution to deprived persons has been an essential tool for providing aid to parts of the population in difficulties. The scheme is financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and involves the voluntary participation of Member States, each of which is assigned an annual budget ceiling by the European Commission based on Eurostat data on poverty. The Commission also compiles a list of products to be taken from public stocks or purchased on the market, within the limits of the allocation assigned. The planned EUR 387 million cut for next year must not hit the 13 million people at risk of poverty who currently receive aid from numerous charities and food banks within the EU. Together we must find a system to make this form of aid secure and constant also in the future as part of the ongoing reforms of social and agricultural aid."@en1
