EESC IN A FLASH with EESC and the food price crisis Today, we do not have a food crisis in terms of not having enough food, but we have a food price crisis. The problem is whether we can talk about a food crisis or a distribution crisis. So it's not that we have a food crisis in terms of not having enough food. There is enough food, but we have the food crisis in terms of lack of distribution, this is our problem. What do you think of the EU food security strategy? To a certain extent, yes, it's fine that the Commission takes to the right measures. I know that some groups are pushing now to get rid of all the measures in order to push and to produce more. This is not the problem. The problem is how we can bring the food now, for instance, from Ukraine to Africa, because there is enough food. Just one figure: we produce globally, 4000 kilocalories per person per day. And we need only 2000. So that means there is enough food. How can we tackle food price speculation? Some experts are saying 70 per cent of the current food price is built on speculation. So that's why we launched a process in the European Economic and Social Committee in order to get a bit more information, dig deeper to what is the reality We must bring transparency to the markets, and we must regulate it. We must be clear that not on the back of the people can they make profits It is similar to energy. They are making now big money. We have to dig deeper now, as the European Economic and Social Committee, in order to find out what recommendations we give to the policymakers in order, not only for this crisis but also for the future, to avoid this up and down of prices, which brings a lot of European families to trouble because they can't afford food any longer because of high prices.
