Abstract:

In this report the Court makes an assessment of the management, the resources and the impact of the EU food programme for the most deprived citizens.

The measure was first introduced in 1987, by using agricultural products in public intervention stocks, and is still applied in certain Member States.

The report demonstrates that the objectives of the programme, especially that for the ‘contribution towards the well-being’ of the most needy remain valid, and makes a series of recommendations aimed at increasing the impact of the measure.
