lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Europe is currently undergoing a period of transformation as a consequence of the economic, financial and social crisis. The existing crises in certain Member States have worsened, social inequalities have widened, and this situation has led to an increase in the number of people living below the poverty line. Today, there are more poor people in the European Union. There are more men and women with an income lower than 60% of the average salary for the country in which they live. We have a serious problem requiring concrete and effective measures. 80 million Europeans are living on or below the poverty line. Even though the poverty line differs from country to country within the EU, what is certain is that this is a growing phenomenon in our Union, which has the most advanced social model in the world as its development paradigm. In Portugal, around 20% of people live in or at risk of poverty, on less than EUR 360 per month. The data on child poverty in my country are devastating. Portugal is one of the eight countries with the highest levels of child poverty. We welcome the target bringing 20 million people out of poverty by 2020, just as we welcome the efforts to promote employment and social inclusion. I would like to congratulate the rapporteur for her contribution and stress that as a minimum income is desirable; setting the amount should be the responsibility of each Member State."@en1
