"Madam President, can I thank the rapporteur for his work on this and for his cooperation with our colleagues in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development where I drafted the opinion? Clearly this is on the agenda, because it is a problem, I recall that since 2009 there have been five resolutions on this issue before the House, and it is still before us this evening. There are differences as to how you tackle it.
Can I just say in relation to the Supply Chain Initiative that the reason it exists at all is because there was political pressure on the powerful in the food supply chain to take action. They would not have done so without consistent pressure from this House. Anna Maria Corazza Bildt was involved in this, as was I, with other colleagues as well.
I hope this House will give a strong signal to the Commissioner who is with us this evening that there will be EU action and attention to this issue. It is about producers and consumers, because consumer choice is impacted where the powerful have too much power, and when we want sustainable food supply chains, with an eye to the environment, we need those chains to be fair."@en1
