".
There is a close interdependence between the financial and commodity markets, both at a European and global level, based on the ever-growing number of participants who are after risk-mitigation tools and new investment objectives.
One of the effects of the increased flow of financial investments in recent years has been on the prices of raw materials, electrical energy and food products at a European level. We are faced with limited transparency in the affected areas. As a result, we cannot present a clear analysis of the links between the prices on the commodity markets and financial instrument markets.
Increasing the level of transparency and improving access to information on the physical markets would enable investors to gain a better understanding of the relevant areas, thereby restricting the abuses. In the agricultural sector, improved coordination between local, regional and national authorities may help improve the quality of information about food stocks, as well as about forecasts for production capacity and consumption.
I must highlight the importance of investments in agriculture in less developed regions to help avoid losing complete control over the unjustified increase in food prices."@en1
