"Madam President, poverty is a tragedy for individuals as well as for society. Poverty leads to violence, crime and conflict. I would like to thank the European Parliament for putting the fight against poverty so high on the agenda and today’s debate demonstrates European determination to address this challenge. The Europe 2020 strategy, Ms Figueiredo’s report, activities in the Member States – these are all steps in the right direction.
I would like to emphasise that as long as global poverty exists – with 1.4 billion people living on less than one dollar a day – we cannot expect to also solve this issue inside the European Union. That means the Millennium Development Goals policy is a policy that also matters to us.
I believe that we are trying to find the right solution and it is inclusive economic growth – of our partner countries and also in the European Union. I know inclusive economic growth sounds rather simple, but that is exactly what we are trying to address in changing our development policies. The EU 2020 strategy also goes in this direction."@en1
