"Madam President, for far too many years now, we have been celebrating International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, without many concrete results, and we run the risk of this day being marked for many decades to come if the same policies continue to apply. From this point of view, Europe and the Western world, in general, cannot simply look the other way.
The fight against poverty implies fighting for a fair distribution of wealth both within Member States and at international level. It is also a matter of respecting the environment and upholding the principle of equality between all human beings. If our discussions today are not followed up by concrete actions based on what we have heard here today, I fear that the declarations made by us will fall on deaf ears, mere good intentions with no real impact on misery and poverty throughout the world and in Europe."@en1
