The European Union will decide on Tuesday whether to cut food aid for 13 million people living in poverty in 19 EU countries. Britain and Germany are among countries supporting the cut, saying that food aid should be handled as domestic policy.
AFP - Europe's farm ministers Tuesday decide whether to agree a plan to ditch 80 percent of the food aid being delivered to 13 million Europeans too poor to afford proper meals, a plan backed notably by Britain and Germany.
"Not only can we save this European food aid but we must do so," said French Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire before heading to Brussels for the talks.
"I am revolted by the decision to scrap this aid for the most deprived," he told RTL radio.
