lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, the European food aid programme for the most deprived persons in the EU was urgently introduced during the exceptionally cold winter of 1986, then enshrined the following year in the common agricultural policy. This programme has become vital for 13 million Europeans who have little job security. It eases the strain on their food budget through distributions by charities and social services, and adds up to a mere EUR 1 per European per year in aid. Together with the Federation of Food Banks the Red Cross and in France, I am concerned about the future of this programme after the European Court of Justice called into question its funding within the framework of the CAP. Our Parliament has often emphasised the fundamental nature of the right to food. Our institutions made 2010 the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. To cite legal ambiguity as an excuse for dismantling, as some Member States are trying to do, a food aid programme that has proved its worth would be disastrous not only for the people concerned but also for Europe’s credibility and image. That is why I call on the Commission to take the political measures necessary to safeguard, preserve and strengthen that programme."@en1
