I voted against this report. Article 208 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union speaks of reducing, and, in the long term, eradicating, poverty, as a primary objective of Union development policy. I wish to draw attention to one very important issue: at present only approximately EUR 418 million, or around 3.4 % of the total Commission development aid budget of EUR 12 billion per year, is currently allocated to direct nutrition intervention. In my view this is too small a sum, when you remember that about one third of the pre-school age children in the world currently suffer from underweight or stunting. Malnutrition kills an estimated 2.6 million children each year and, if unchecked, will put almost half a billion children at risk of permanent damage in the next 15 years."@en1
