I welcome the fact that, following negotiations with the Council, it has been decided to continue the distribution of food to the most deprived people in the 2012-2013 period. I wish, however, to emphasise that this positive vote granted to the compromise text does not represent in any way support for the Member States that envisage the complete elimination of this aid by the end of 2013. On the contrary, I think that now more than ever, the current economic situation shows us how important it is to continue this programme during the next period as well, i.e. 2014-2020.
