(5 a) During the meeting of 20 June 2008, the European Council strongly reaffirmed its commitment to achieve a collective ODA(Official Development Assistance)- target of 0,56% GNI by 2010 and 0,7% GNI by 2015, as set out in the May 2005 Council conclusions, the June 2005 European Council conclusions and the European Consensus on Development. The national efforts of Member States towards achieving this goal should be taken into account within the framework of the EU food facility instrument.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) The same conditions which lead to the need for the present financing facility (the high food prices), also lead to lower agriculture market expenditure under Heading 2 of the Financial Framework. Current estimates also indicate a significant unallocated margin under the ceiling of Heading 2 in 2009. Nevertheless the actions foreseen in this regulation should be financed under Heading 4 of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). This means that the Interinstitutional Agreement should be adapted.
