Updating and harmonising social security systems are crucial issues for the Member States and hence the need to support initiatives that will help them to achieve these aims. The Social Protection Committee, which is intended to promote cooperation on social security policies between the Member States, the candidate countries and the Commission is one such initiative and therefore won my vote.
The committee must monitor the social security situation in the Member States and changes in this situation. It must present reports, specifically on situations of poverty and social inclusion – deliver opinions, establish contacts and cooperate with the relevant bodies in this field.
I would stress that greater priority must be given to Parliament’s role. The committee should inform Parliament in an efficient way so that Parliament can follow up this issue and Parliament’s position must be taken into account in all the activities of the Social Protection Committee.
Lastly, I would emphasise that the gender balance must be respected in the composition of the Committee Delegations."@en1
