"Mr President, I have a couple of questions, but firstly I would like to make it absolutely clear that it is scandalous that we even have to look at having a food distribution programme in the European Union and that people are living in poverty and, secondly, that if we are going to, I certainly would support such a Fund.
However, I would like some clarification. If each country is expected to participate but does not use the allocated money, what happens to that money as foreseen under this proposal? Is it reallocated within the Fund or does it go back to the general budget?
Secondly, in some accounts of the allocation that I have seen, the UK and Germany, for example, could do very well out of this Fund in terms of getting significant amounts of money and other countries, some of whom have been dependent on this Fund, such as Spain and Portugal, would actually have a lower allocation of monies as a result of Germany and the UK, etc. getting so much. Is that correct?
Thirdly, does one presume, given that this financing is coming from the European Social Fund envelope, that if countries are taking money for the Food Aid Fund from that envelope, they will have less to use from the Social Fund for other things?"@en1
