"(
) We Swedish Social Democrats voted against the motion for a resolution on rising food prices. We welcome the debate on food prices and price fluctuations, particularly with regard to speculation on food commodities and the weak competition in certain parts of the food chain, but we nevertheless do not believe that this resolution provides an adequate description of the problem. The claims of direct threats to Europe’s food supply are grossly exaggerated. We are also opposed to the concern about rising food prices being used to justify a European agricultural policy based on extensive direct subsidies and regulation of the market. The resolution’s monotonous focus on the agricultural sector means that the significance of other social factors for the ability to deal with substantial price rises is ignored – we are thinking primarily of the lack of democratic institutions in many countries, inequality when it comes to income and weak welfare systems."@en1
