(2) The objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) as defined in Article 33(1) of the Treaty include stabilising the markets as well as ensuring that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices. Over the years the food distribution plans implemented under the scheme have successfully underpinned the fulfilment of both objectives and, byhelped to reducinge the food insecurity of the most deprived persons in the Community, have proven to be an essential tool contributing to guarantee broad availabi. However, the predominant use of foods purchased on the market in recent times means that these distribution plans have evolved from an agricultural politcy of food within the Community while reducing the intervention stockstool into a social policy tool.

(4) The successive enlargements of the Community have increased the potential number of beneficiaries of food aid schemes in the Community. At the same time rising food prices have negatively affected the food security of the most deprived persons and increased the cost of providing the food aid. As a result, the importancuse of the scheme originally set up under Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 hwas grown, over the years. It is therefore essential to continue the scheme at Community level and further adapt it to changing market developments, more and more clearly at odds with the legal basis chosen (Article 37 of the Treaty).

(5) The current food distribution scheme relies on the distribution of products from Community intervention stocks supplemented, on a temporary basis, by purchases on the market. However, successive reforms of the CAP and favourable developments of producer prices have resulted in a progressive reduction in intervention stocks, as well as the range of products available. Consequently, market purchases should also be made a permanent source of supply for the scheme to complement intervention stocks, where suitable intervention stocks are not availableThe subsequent practice that emerged of keeping the scheme supplied mainly through market purchases is not covered by the legal basis (Article 37 of the Treaty).

Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) A Community scheme cannot constitute the sole response to the growing needs for food aid in the Community. National policies implemented by public administrations and the mobilisation of civil society are equ, above ally, necessary to provide food security for the most deprived. Since the Treaty contains no special provisions for powers to adopt appropriate measures to provide food security for the most deprived, the necessary measure should be taken on the basis of Article 308 of the Treaty. A Community scheme with a strong cohesive element might, however, serve as a model for the distribution of food to the most deprived, help create synergies and encourage public and private initiatives aimed at increasing the food security of persons in need. Furthermore, given the geographical dispersion of the reduced available intervention stocks in the Member States, it can contribute to their best use. The Community scheme should therefore also be without prejudice to any such national policies.

(7) In order to fully benefit from the cohesive dimension of the Community scheme and reinforce the synergies thereby created, and in order to ensure proper planning, provision should be made for Member States to co-finance the food distribution programme. Maximum Community co-financing rates should be provided for and the Community financial contribution should be added to the list of measures eligible for financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) set out in Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005. Higher co-financing rates should apply in the first years of application of the revised scheme in order to ensure the continued high take-up of funds, the gradual phase in of co-financing, to allow for a smooth transition and to avoid the risk of discontinuation of the scheme due to a possible lack of resources.
