Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Takes the view that the greatest barrier in the EU to the delivery of still edible surplus food to those in need - and this is the second level of the food-wasting hierarchy - is the shortage, or sometimes complete lack, of capacity in the distribution channel; notes that charitable organisations and state- or local government-run social work bodies do not have enough material or human resources to transport and distribute the still edible food offered for charitable purposes; notes that this is true in particular of the most disadvantaged regions;

Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5 b. Notes that, under the EU's food aid programme (FEAD), it is also possible for material resources allocated to the programme to be used for the delivery of surplus food to its destination; recommends, in the light of the above, that, when implementing FEAD, resources available under the programme be reallocated for the delivery of surplus food; notes that by reallocating resources - according to a previous model drawn up by European charitable organisations - the value of the food delivered to the most in need could be increased 14 times as compared with the current utilisation of the FEAD programme;
