lpv:translated text	"In the European Union, the year 2010 is European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. One in six Europeans, or 17% of the population, live below the poverty line. In Poland, that is about 6.5 million people. Poverty can affect anyone. It is enough to lose your job or become seriously ill. The ranks of the poor are increasingly being swollen by people who do have jobs. Poverty most often affects children and the elderly, young white-collar workers, graduates, families with many children and people who are repaying loans. It is Parliament’s obligation to be effective in resisting and combating the causes of poverty. Our objective is to reduce the number of the poor by 20 million by 2020. First place in national strategies to combat poverty should be given to guaranteeing suitable material support for the poor, enabling easier access to the labour market and providing opportunities for education, as well as ensuring a high quality of public services for all. Equally important are social and ethical issues. Poverty is also the state of mind associated with loss of dignity and humiliation. In fact, it is changing this attitude which is one of the most difficult aspects of combating poverty. We need, here, effective psychological care and speed in giving help. National strategies should be consistent with initiatives supported by the European Social Fund and projects of the EU’s PROGRESS programme. May the year 2010 be an opportunity for social dialogue to achieve ratification of the European Social Charter by all Member States of the European Union."@en1
