"Mr President, the rise in basic food prices in recent years has significantly shrunk European citizens’ purchasing power. The economic and financial crisis within the EU has had a considerable impact, automatically increasing the social vulnerability of the EU’s most deprived citizens.
It is vital to continue the food distribution programme in the current economic and political climate. It could provide strong support to 18 million Europeans without imposing additional burdens on national budgets. We need a transitional solution as a matter of urgency for the remaining years in the current multiannual financial framework. The proposal was blocked at the Council for two years, and we are pleased that we have finally reached a compromise. I wish to thank the Commission and Commissioner Cioloş for the efforts they have made.
I therefore support the adoption of measures for the EU to resume granting this aid as soon as possible, as well as the proposal tabled by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) to extend the programme during the next multi-annual financial perspective."@en1
