Considers that, in an integrated financial market, and given how quickly companies change head-
quarters, the exponential growth of international capital flows and the speed at which investments are
made, efficient supervision and close cooperation among the regulatory and supervisory bodies of different
Member States are indispensable, notwithstanding the need to reflect further on the most appropriate EU
supervisory, regulatory and control model for banking, insurance and securities;

European food aid programme for the most deprived

Declaration of the European Parliament on supplying approved charities working to implement the
European food aid programme for the most deprived

The European Parliament,

— having regard to Rule 116 of its Rules of Procedure,

A. whereas at least 40 million Europeans in the 25 Member States of the European Union do not have

enough to eat,

B. whereas meeting the food needs of all Europeans is one of the priorities of the common agricultural

policy and one of the founding principles of the EC Treaty,

C. whereas the European food aid programme for the most deprived has proved its worth and is now vital

for millions of Europeans,

D.

concerned about the future of this operation because Community public intervention stocks are steadily
disappearing physically and the programme is thus losing its legal basis,

1.

(a)

Calls on the Commission and the Council to

recognise the fact that there are undernourished people in the European Union and acknowledge the
need to meet their food requirements,

(b) place the European food aid programme on a permanent footing and provide a global multiannual

budget allocation,

(c) open the measure up to new sectors such as pork, poultry and eggs,

(d)

include in the programme innovative measures to ensure the distribution of balanced food rations,

(e)

regard food aid as part of the aim of reducing poverty,

(f) modify the rules so as to allow:

— for the stocks reserved for the programme to be built up, i.e. set aside for and allocated to the

most deprived,

— for the bartering procedure to be extended,
— for products that are not available as part of intervention stocks to be bought on the Community

market;

Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories, to the

2.
Council, the Commission and the governments of the Member States.
