"Madam President, the eradication of poverty is actually a Millennium Development Goal, but it is also a European objective in Europe.
Indeed, in Europe, we have the highest average standard of living overall in the world but nowhere else in the world is there such division within our European society as well as between Europe and Africa. It has the biggest gap between living standards in the world. Our job then is to reduce these differences.
Too many Europeans, in Europe, have no access to a nutritional meal for two days at a time. Too many children are poor and face health and educational problems rooted in ongoing poverty. Too many women have to put up with wage disparities, are marginalised when it comes to employment, have no job security and, for this, training is the only way of bringing them back into society and out of poverty. Too many elderly people, and more often than not women, have lagged behind in finding decent employment and decent salaries throughout their professional life.
There are too many people living below the poverty line in rural areas. Many of our aid policies for combating poverty are urban policies. We must also help the rural community combat poverty.
And so I urge you, the fight against poverty ..."@en1
