"I voted in favour of the report presented by Ms Zimmer from
party, which would allow the European Union to make progress in the fight against world hunger.
It is not acceptable that only 3% of European aid for developing countries is spent on agriculture when 80% of the world’s hungry live in rural areas.
This report clearly raises a number of questions and makes a number of proposals. It could have gone much further, but is the fruit of discussions with the other groups in the European Parliament.
It defends the right to food, emphasises the need to increase aid for the agricultural sector, particularly small-scale operations, and to focus on sustainable production.
The report also criticises the extreme price volatility and argues in favour of regulation designed to prevent speculation on food commodities. It also condemns large-scale land acquisitions by large corporations and calls for local communities to be involved in the negotiations and for their rights to be guaranteed.
I see that a large number of proposals have been adopted in plenary despite opposition from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats)."@en1
