I voted in favour of the Food Assistance Convention which the European Parliament is called upon to approve without being able to amend it. It is generally admitted that progress is slow on questions of combating famine. Even now, nearly 14 % of the world population is undernourished. The EU is undoubtedly the world’s largest donor in the areas of humanitarian aid and food; however, the economic crisis facing the EU is resulting in a growing dialogue – particularly among the large Member States – on the question of reducing such aid. The European Parliament expresses its disappointment at the fact that there is no collective EU minimum annual commitment that includes the contributions of both the EU and Member States towards this effort; at the same time, it emphasises individual political proposals, such as the transition from a product-based approach to a more varied, needs-based and locally adapted mix of tools, transparency and greater accountability in the implementation of these programmes."@en1
