Food aid: processed canned fish products

ORAL QUESTION H-0040/10
for Question Time at the part-session in February 2010
pursuant to Rule 116 of the Rules of Procedure
by Pat the Cope Gallagher
to the Commission

Processed canned fish products are high in protein and have a long shelf life. Such products can be supplied at short notice and have been used previously to effectively alleviate food shortages during emergency situations similar to the Haiti earthquake.

Does the Commission include processed canned fish products as food aid in emergency situations? If not, would the Commission consider the inclusion of processed canned fish products as part of the EU emergency response to the people of Haiti?
