In the EU, an estimated 20% of food production is lost or wasted, while 55 million people cannot afford a quality meal every single day. I have been working in a Spanish supermarket and every single day I had to throw away a lot of fresh food. It is unacceptable to throw away food when it can be eaten! Art. 2 TEU refers to solidarity. EU should, therefore, force Member States to improve the regulation about food waste. Supermarkets should donate more food to charity or make better calculations in his food offer.

Mēs visi vēlamies apturēt pārtikas izšķērdēšanu, bet, ja lielveikali atdod pārtiku bez maksas, nedomā, ka tas samazinās viņu ieņēmumus, un tas paaugstinās cenas, lai tās varētu kompensēt?
