lpv:translated text	". Madam President, Commissioner, we ought to thank the European Commission for having taken on the challenge of the social dimension of globalisation. I should, however, like the European institutions and the national authorities also to give some thought of their own to the matter, using the actual conditions in the Member States as a starting point. The social dimension of globalisation requires us to adapt the structures of society to the commitments made, but without for all that sacrificing what underpins society. To begin with, I should like to address the social dimension of globalisation from the perspective of citizenship. Nothing cripples citizenship more than the feeling of inferiority generated by the daily onslaughts of poverty, subordination and dependency. Consequently, all our efforts should be aimed at ensuring that all those men and women who are today excluded from progress because of unfettered globalisation can hold on to, or regain, their dignity. My second remark relates to one of the greatest challenges of globalisation: poverty. Last month, on 17 October, we commemorated the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. We said that, in order to combat poverty, we needed to enter into a close partnership with the poorest people. Unfortunately, the European Commission has not yet heard these calls. That is why I pray that the European and national institutions might take the contributions of the poorest families and citizens seriously. These people are the real experts when it comes to understanding the social dimension of globalisation. My third point relates to the contribution of women to this debate. The Lisbon Strategy anticipates that at least 60% of women will participate in the labour market in 2010. I am convinced that this objective has already been achieved. All that is required is for recognition to be given to all of the work done by women that is not officially recognised at present by the national and European authorities. What do we really know about the commitment made by women in leading intergenerational support networks and in being the driving force behind other forms of informal work? Society as a whole benefits from this. I encourage the services of the European Commission together with the Member States to recognise the work done by women that is not yet officially recognised, and to do so irrespective of the social status of these women. This also forms part of the responses to the social challenge of globalisation."@en1
