"I voted in favour of the 2013 budget because it maintains the European programme for the most deprived persons. I would stress, however, that this programme must be maintained in the next financial framework for 2014-2020; the challenge is to focus on the long term because the associations need to be visible in order to carry out their missions in full. A year ago, many associations expressed their concern that the funding for the programme had been called into question by the Court of Justice of the European Union, putting the food supply of 18 million people in jeopardy. That situation was unacceptable and it does not reflect the idea of a protective Europe that I defend.
Thanks to the mobilisation of many governments, including François Fillon’s Government at that time, an agreement was reached in the Council of the European Union to maintain the programme’s funding for two more years, namely 2012 and 2013. The beneficiaries of the programme can be reassured that the financial envelope of EUR 500 million will certainly be maintained in 2013 and I welcome that. We must continue to strive for a sustainable and satisfactory solution for all of the Member States, the beneficiaries and the contributors."@en1
