Deplores the fact that there is no strategic reserve of cereals should a food shortage occur at Community level; notes that Member States are allowed to constitute strategic reserves of cereals, and that they have to inform the Commission about these reserves; deplores, however, the fact that very few Member States make use of this possibility, and considers that the Commission should explore the idea of constituting a Community strategic reserve.
292. betreurt dat er geen strategische graanreserve is in geval van voedseltekort op Gemeenschapsniveau; merkt op dat de lidstaten strategische graanreserves mogen aanleggen en dat zij de Commissie over deze reserves moeten informeren; betreurt evenwel dat erg weinig lidstaten deze mogelijkheid benutten en is van mening dat de Commissie de idee moet onderzoeken en communautaire strategische reserve aan te leggen.
