". Mr President, poverty is a political, economic and social problem. The Union certainly needs an integrated approach to poverty. The relief provided by the food distribution programme for deprived persons is important but it is not, of course, a solution to the problem. Of course, that does not mean that it should be abolished. Also, deprived persons do not care if the resources come from the CAP or from the European Social Fund. The current economic crisis in Europe will exacerbate survival conditions for a very large section of the population and this must be addressed in a viable and cohesive manner. Combating poverty and exclusion are clearly a matter for the Union. At the same time, we should perhaps remember that the rest of us, who are able to eat our fill, must become more responsible citizens. The 179 kilograms of food wasted per person per year is, I think, an insult to deprived persons and is also a matter that should concern us."@en1
