"First of all, I would like to congratulate the French Presidency for its historically significant work. The EUR 200 billion economic stimulus plan, the simplification of regulations and the streamlining of the institutional system are effective changes. These are achievements that can help to stimulate the European economy.
The lack of social equilibrium, however, is posing a serious problem for Europe. The effects of the crisis are pushing social inequalities in many countries to breaking point. We need to take emblematic and effective steps on behalf of our most vulnerable citizens, deal with further social tensions and prevent the spread of aggression. I am pleased that the renovation of social housing can be extended to the tower block apartments of people on low incomes, but we should not forget that there are some rural, impoverished settlements that have sprung up where it would be a mistake to upgrade, and thus we should make it possible to shut down these segregated settlements. We need to put an end to extreme poverty, otherwise the economic crisis could have dangerous social consequences."@en1
