"We must do everything we can to ensure that when there is large-scale hunger, the EU can react as swiftly as possible. A poor response in the face of hundreds of thousands of deaths does not help the EU’s image in the international arena, even though it is the world’s biggest donor. Hunger and food insecurity are not just caused by natural disasters. In some way or other, we can trace their origins back to international trade. It is important to coordinate EU trade policy and other sectoral policies so as to minimise their contribution to food insecurity in developing countries. Nevertheless, most of the reasons lie in the internal policies of the countries concerned, ineffective governance and armed conflicts. I am therefore convinced that those aid measures that are oriented towards long-term development have a real impact. At the same time, it is necessary to encourage African countries to take greater responsibility for creating general welfare on the continent and to establish a collective aid mechanism for the citizens of African countries suffering from hunger and food insecurity."@en1
