lpv:translated text	"The 2006 Nobel Peace Prize was given to Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist, and to his Grameen Bank. The decision of the Nobel Committee has not only given cause for rejoicing, but has also shown the way and given hope to those who are striving for a humane and peaceful world. Many of us believe that poverty and social exclusion are among the root causes of war and destructive impulses. There are people who are strangers in their own land, who have lost all human contact and the chance to feel at home in the world. Muhammad Yunus’ microcredit system is not simply charity, which often helps to alleviate the guilty conscience of the well-to-do. Rather, it lends money and makes cooperation possible, as well as restoring people’s faith in future opportunities. We, as MEPs, should look upon this year’s Peace Prize as a challenge and a task. Poverty such as exists in Bangladesh may also be found in Europe. Let us consider again and again the potential for small steps, be they in credit, entrepreneurship or increasing knowledge, since small steps can take us a long way down the path towards human dignity."@en1
