lpv:translated text	"The fight against food wastage must be the subject of an EU strategy to respond to the needs of the 79 million citizens who are living below the poverty line and of the 16 million who are dependent on charities for food aid. This is why my colleagues and I are calling for urgent measures to halve food wastage by 2025 and to improve access to food for deprived people. With the future of the Food Aid Programme for the Most Deprived Persons having been threatened over the course of several months, there is a need to encourage the initiatives of some Member States to recover unsold food and the distributors should also participate in these programmes. That said, food wastage does not only concern the developed countries. It also affects developing countries which are forced to throw away tonnes of food due to a lack of adequate resources to preserve it in the production and distribution chains. We can and we must provide them with our practical support and know-how in this field to avoid the losses of food that are so crucial in some parts of the world. Solidarity must not stop at Europe’s borders."@en1
