"Mr President, I wish to draw attention to the need for urgent measures at Member State and EU level in the context of the sharp rises in food prices caused by drought in the United States and Eastern Europe. According to the World Bank, food prices rose by 10% as a whole in the months of June and July. The price of maize, for example, rose by more than 25%. The effects are being aggravated by increased oil prices. Oil and maize are key raw materials in the production of food. The uncertainties are ever growing, both in terms of agricultural production and the evolution of oil prices. Against this background, the EU must adopt rapid and concrete measures. It goes without saying that the structural measures proposed as part of the future European agricultural policy are important, but we cannot wait for them to become operational. Last but not least, food aid programmes must continue beyond 2013, because vulnerable citizens will become even more vulnerable at this juncture."@en1
