"The right to food is a basic human right, and is achieved when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to food that is suitable, safe in health terms and nutritious, in order to satisfy their dietary needs. In the EU 43 million people are at risk of food poverty and, because of the economic and financial crisis, the figure could rise. We agree with the initiative of the Commission and the United Nations to take a common stand against food insecurity and malnutrition in the world. We believe that the scheme to support the most deprived members of society should be maintained and that the Commission has to identify a legal basis for the existing food scheme or for a new scheme to help the poor. The possibility of increasing the supply of products destined for the scheme must also be taken into consideration, by allowing the purchase of products withdrawn from the market through means other than intervention, such as export returns or private stocks. Finally, we feel that it is necessary that, within the context of structural fund adjustment, the Commission should guarantee that vocational qualifications and academic qualifications should be increasingly promoted, in order to allow more deprived people to participate in the social state through work."@en1
