lpv:translated text	"I support Mr Caronna’s report entitled: ‘On the avoidance of food wastage: strategies for a more efficient food chain in the EU’, because I find that food wastage is an acute current problem that has not received sufficient attention. As living standards rise, we enjoy increasing choice and the availability of food products with aesthetic appearance, but we devote less and less thought to the sensible use of food. This is especially the case when the true extent of food wastage is invisible to the ordinary consumer, because the most extensive component of this wastage takes place during the phase in which food is produced and transported. In addition, consumers have become increasingly demanding regarding the appearance of food, and much food that is perfectly suitable for consumption is discarded solely due to its unsuitable appearance. There is also no reason why food that is approaching its expiry date should not be sold to consumers who are willing to purchase it for a lower price or even distributed as free food aid. Methods for the avoidance of food wastage are simple and readily available (purchasing the correct quantity of food, purchasing food produced by the producer who is nearest to the consumer, the proper storage of food, etc.), but these must also become ingrained among as many consumers as possible and be implemented among producers, suppliers and sellers of food."@en1
