"Mr President, the data on food waste in European Union are quite astonishing. Almost 88 million tonnes of food is being wasted in the EU each year, and a number of studies have shown that between 33% and 50% of the world food production is not consumed.
Consequently, I concur that such waste is an issue of great importance, affecting both national and global food security. The rapporteur believes that a solution to this problem is a coordinated policy at EU level with the EU action plan for the circular economy laying the foundation, in conjunction with the Commission evaluating the relevant legislation to see if it is fit for purpose and identifying if there are gaps, overlaps or areas in need of clarification or further action.
However, my party UKIP and I believe that an issue as great as this should be addressed at a global rather than a European level with the national parliaments of Member States monitoring wastage and food safety issues in their countries without the creation of further EU bureaucracy and legislation."@en1
