"Here in plenary, we are discussing food security and aid to the developing countries while, at the same time, the Horn of Africa is suffering from the worst famine for 40 years. In 2010, 925 million people in the world were starving.
The human right to food must be implemented, and the responsibility for this lies with the entire international community. European values are based on universal human rights and equality. It is quite intolerable that Europe continues to practise protectionism in its trade policy in relation to the developing countries. The reform in agricultural policy should completely remove all barriers to trade with the developing countries. The EU and the Member States should increase their investments in agriculture and rural development in these countries and set aside an adequate amount in development aid appropriations for agriculture.
The EU and its Member States must prioritise both poverty reduction and the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Speculation on the market price of food should be referred for a decision at international level."@en1
