The rapporteur, Mr TELKÄMPER (Greens, D), said that it was necessary to re-examine the reasons behind the food aid policy and to begin by converting industrialised society to a new way of thinking. The new regulation was aimed at promoting self-sufficiency in food supply. Mr Telkämper stressed that the reconstruction of a subsistence economy had to be stimulated at local level and that the existing programmes were in need of reform. He also focused on the important role that women had to play in the area of food security. The Commissioner, Mrs BONINO, thought that this sector had undergone numerous changes, including those of a macro-economic nature, and that the problems in this area had got worse since the 1980s. She believed that the FAO summit had been a turning point for food security. The Commission accepted most of the amendments, including those relating to greater respect for environmental requirements, improved water supplies, positive discrimination in favour of small and medium-sized private undertakings and the greater involvement of women and local communities in food security. The Commission was prepared to accept the content of Amendments Nos 4, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14, but wanted their wording to be revised. However, it was not prepared to accept Amendment No 16, as this would reduce the scope of the food aid; Amendment No 21, because the funding was for all operations and not just individual persons; No 25, because while it agreed with the ‘triangular procurement’ approach the Commission was opposed to establishing a hierarchy of the three possible options; and Amendments Nos 32, 33 and 39. Mrs Bonino concluded by stating that the common objective was to help transform the recipients of Community aid into active participants in their own future.

Details

Commissioner PINHEIRO stated that aid should be more flexible and that there should be a better balance between traditional aid measures and support for production. The new political framework for food aid therefore placed particular emphasis on the need to combine structural food aid, triangular operations and operations on the ground. It was also important to provide support for the rehabilitation of agricultural products and to facilitate access by the poorest groups to production centres. The Commission and Parliament were in agreement on the main points. However, the Commission could not take over Amendments Nos 25 (on commercial food imports), 29 (doing away with preparatory studies and training schemes for staff in the developing countries in question), 31, 32 and 33 (as the Commission felt that triangular operations were more effective than bilateral operations), and 48 (as the Commission felt the evaluation report should be sent to the Council rather then the Food Aid Committee). The Commission also rejected Amendment No 50 because a more flexible management system was required, and Amendment No 51 because the information it covered had already been provided.

The new political framework for food aid therefore placed particular emphasis on the need to combine structural food aid, triangular operations and operations on the ground. It was also important to provide support for the rehabilitation of agricultural products and to facilitate access by the poorest groups to production centres. The Commission and Parliament were in agreement on the main points. However, the Commission could not take over Amendments Nos 25 (on commercial food imports), 29 (doing away with preparatory studies and training schemes for staff in the developing countries in question), 31, 32 and 33 (as the Commission felt that triangular operations were more effective than bilateral operations), and 48 (as the Commission felt the evaluation report should be sent to the Council rather then the Food Aid Committee). The Commission also rejected Amendment No 50 because a more flexible management system was required, and Amendment No 51 because the information it covered had already been provided.

The new regulation was aimed at promoting self-sufficiency in food supply. Mr Telkämper stressed that the reconstruction of a subsistence economy had to be stimulated at local level and that the existing programmes were in need of reform. He also focused on the important role that women had to play in the area of food security. The Commissioner, Mrs BONINO, thought that this sector had undergone numerous changes, including those of a macro-economic nature, and that the problems in this area had got worse since the 1980s. She believed that the FAO summit had been a turning point for food security. The Commission accepted most of the amendments, including those relating to greater respect for environmental requirements, improved water supplies, positive discrimination in favour of small and medium-sized private undertakings and the greater involvement of women and local communities in food security. The Commission was prepared to accept the content of Amendments Nos 4, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14, but wanted their wording to be revised. However, it was not prepared to accept Amendment No 16, as this would reduce the scope of the food aid; Amendment No 21, because the funding was for all operations and not just individual persons; No 25, because while it agreed with the ‘triangular procurement’ approach the Commission was opposed to establishing a hierarchy of the three possible options; and Amendments Nos 32, 33 and 39. Mrs Bonino concluded by stating that the common objective was to help transform the recipients of Community aid into active participants in their own future.
