The European scheme for the most deprived is one of the main sources of food supply for European charities. Following the European Court ruling of 13/04/2011, which deemed that the arrangements in 2009 to provide food bought on the open market were illegal relative to the existing regulation, the 2012 plan had to be adopted with a much reduced budget. On June 10, 2011, the Commission was obliged to adopt a 2012 plan limited to the purchase of available public intervention stocks - a budget of just €113.5 million - less than one quarter of the previous annual schemes. |
