"This report contains a long list of exhortations to the Member States concerning the action they should take to deal with relative poverty in the individual Member States. There are obviously good reasons for the Member States to cooperate on issues of this type by, for example, voluntarily sharing experiences and best practice.
Social integration and poverty are, however, issues that must be dealt with nationally or through voluntary cooperation between the governments of the Member States. It is difficult to see what added value or specific competence the European Parliament is contributing by churning out opinions on these and similar issues.
The report contains proposals to the effect that:
the Member States should increase the opportunities for lifelong learning (paragraph 11);
the Member States should provide access to affordable, good quality care services for children (paragraph 24);
the Member States’ pensions systems should be reformed so as to guarantee social justice to the greatest possible extent (paragraph 44);
reforms of public pension systems in the Member States should not lead to an increase in the total tax burden on labour (paragraph 45);
The June List recommends that important issues such as those referred to above be resolved by means of broad national debates, whereupon the Member States should, either independently or by cooperating voluntarily with other relevant players, use the ordinary democratic channels to decide on suitable legislation and other appropriate measures. We have thus voted against this report."@en1
