". Hunger and food shortages remain global challenges. In 2010, an estimated 925 million people did not have enough to eat. While substantial progress has been made in various areas in previous years, the pace of improvement is still slow. 98 % of the world’s undernourished live in developing countries. Malnutrition is an underlying cause of more than a third of children’s deaths. Besides this, the number of people worldwide affected by disasters is on the rise. The EU has to adopt a leading role in reducing poverty and eradicating hunger. The continuous need for an international, legally binding framework that defines and provides the commitments for the delivery of food assistance to developing countries is obvious. We need long-term solutions, backed by activities that facilitate the provision of aid. By strengthening local production and livelihoods we can avoid long-term aid dependency. This is why we need to extend the scope of products entitled to subsidies to include ones that promote the protection of livelihoods. Consequently, I voted in favour of the proposal. Thank you."@en1
