"The right to food is a fundamental right that every person must enjoy. The European programme for deprived persons has helped achieve social policy objectives, in addition to fulfilling its agricultural aspect as part of the common agricultural policy. The programme has proved to be an important instrument for certain groups of people affected by poverty, especially against the backdrop of the current economic and financial crisis. I welcome the fact that this programme will continue this year because, in Romania alone in 2011, NGOs provided assistance to more than 2.8 million people on very low incomes. However, in my view, it is paramount that this aid also continues in the future. I think that the EU needs to provide support to deprived persons at a comparable level to this year as people in need still have to be given assistance. The Member States which oppose this measure must prove that they understand the situation of the poverty-stricken groups and agree to continue the programme under the necessary conditions. This is why I believe that this aid programme must be included in the European Social Fund and is a show of solidarity with all European citizens in need of support."@en1
