ENCOURAGING governments of food insecure countries to develop and implement country-owned strategies that address the root causes of food insecurity through long-term measures, and that ensure proper linkages between relief, recovery and development activities;

The SHARE and AGIR initiatives represent an improvement in the way humanitarian and development assistance interact, boosting the levels of assistance in the short-term, facilitating the link between relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD), as well as demonstrating the commitment of the EU to address the root causes of food insecurity in the longer-term.

Mr. Speaker, as I rise for the first time in this auspicious House, I am compelled to remember my roots as eighth generation Irish who came to this fledgling nation in 1848 seeking relief from famine, poverty and hopelessness.

This stark juxtaposition serves to underline the fact that the work of relief agencies, however competent, courageous and committed, cannot provide a substitute for long-term, structural engagement in the political crises that are the root cause of humanitarian disasters.

Price proposals and related measures The analysis of the agricultural situation in the 1990/91 marketing year and the market outlook for the coming years clearly indicate that, after two years of relief and despite considerable efforts of adjustment over a number of years, market imbalances are growing again and that prospects for the foreseeable future are not encouraging. This new deterioration in the situation calls for an in-depth reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in order to tackle the problems ...[+++] at their roots. Taking into account that in-depth reform of a number of common market organisation is needed and that specific proposals to do so will be presented this year, the Commission would have preferred, at this stage, to propose a simple roll-over of present institutional prices for one year until the reform measures have been adopted and come into effect. However, the considerable deterioration of the budgetary situation for 1991 and the worsening prospects for 1992 oblige the Commission, in the interests of budgetary discipline, to supplement its roll-over price proposals for the 1991/92 marketing year by a number of specific proposals designed to contain agricultural expenditure. a) Common prices The Commission considers that for the majority of products it is desirable to propose the continued application of 1990/91 prices subject, of course, to the effects of the application of the stabiliser mechanisms.
