lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to express my delight in the fact that we have achieved the highly important goal of extending the programme for food distribution to the most deprived persons in the Union to 2013. It has been a long and difficult process, involving the efforts of all of Parliament. Now, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs and the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development have together urged the Commission to make a clear commitment to the European Parliament to pursue the programme after 2013. The statement of 6 December 2011 in which the Commission acknowledged the opposition of some Member States to a new programme must not prejudice the Commission’s right to legislative initiative as provided for by the Treaty. The Commission must take into account the strong desire on the part of the European Parliament and the vast majority of EU Member States to continue this programme. Therefore, we are pleased with the statements the Commission has made to us today. We are talking – let us reiterate this – about an instrument which allows the EU to distribute 440 000 tonnes of free food every year to over 18 million poor people and struggling families, a number which, unfortunately, also includes many children. This is why we cannot consider our political initiative to be over. Mr President, Commissioner, taking into consideration also the new global challenges, such as food security, which are making life even tougher for the disadvantaged, Parliament will do its best to ensure that differences are overcome and that the programme can continue in 2014."@en1
