Question 32663 — European Union

Summary

Mr. Bernard Reynès draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the serious concerns raised by charitable associations, such as the Bouches-du-Rhône Food Bank, about food aid at European level. In fact, these associations benefit in particular from the European Fund for Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) which allows them to have 100 to 120 tonnes of basic products, i.e. almost 30% of the products they distribute. This essential contribution provides stability and regularity of food distributed to people in need. The covid-19 crisis and its economic and social consequences have particularly hit populations. Many families found themselves with a drop in income or lost their jobs and the number of registrations really exploded in six months. This help has not always not been paid and the foodstuffs are starting to run out. Considering that this fund allows associations to act against poverty and precariousness, he asks them to intervene with their European counterparts so that the 2020 amount is paid quickly and that the current FEAD budget is maintained within the framework of future European discussions.
