lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, none of us is indifferent to the fact that 80 million people in the European Union are at risk of poverty and 14 million are dependent on the food programme. Worse still, this trend may be growing. The most important thing is for the Commission to find a proper basis for the existing food programme and any new one. Suddenly stopping and drastically reducing the aid provided causes more harm in the long term than good in the short term. I have a few more important points to make. This aid must certainly be granted to those who really need it so as to prevent dependency on it. However, dependency can be overcome by providing opportunities for these people to develop. Dire need should not, in most cases, be confused with dependency either. Secondly, the role of the Structural Funds and their suitability is very important. However, they are also based on the importance of ensuring that people have good-quality, healthy nutrition, right from childhood and for the whole of their life. Our role is to help people so that shortage of food does not lead to dependency and dependency does not preclude development. On a global scale, more general actions such as those involving the UN agency send a very powerful message which the European Union is conveying outside our continent. Finally, the fight against hunger is a Millennium Development Goal. Even more importantly than this, we are fighting for a new CAP, which cannot be allowed to sustain differences and create new injustices. Let us not lose sight of our values and principles and let us keep our word, which we gave right at the very outset."@en1
