"I voted for the report on how to avoid food wastage: strategies for a more efficient food chain in the EU, because every year, roughly 50% of healthy, edible food is lost along the food chain in Europe, turning into waste. We call on the Council, the Commission, Member States and players in the food supply chain to address as a matter of urgency the problem of food waste along the entire supply and consumption chain and to devise guidelines and forms of support with a view to improving the efficiency of the food supply chain sector by sector. There are different reasons for food waste: overproduction, faulty product targeting (unadapted size or shape), deterioration of the products or their packaging, marketing rules (problems of appearance or defective packaging), or inadequate stock management and marketing strategies. We urge the Commission to assess the impact of a policy of enforcement with regard to food waste, aimed at all the stakeholders in the food chain, by applying the ‘polluter pays’ principle. We call on the Commission to create specific food waste prevention targets for Member States, as part of the waste prevention targets to be met by Member States by 2014, as recommended by the 2008 Waste Framework Directive."@en1
