I regard this issue as extremely significant. Social services, including assistance for weaker economies, are among the European Union’s fundamental duties. Assistance for less affluent regions embodies the spirit of solidarity and is in the interest of the EU as a whole. Subsidising poorer areas makes it possible for them to develop more rapidly, for many new jobs to be created and for us to exit the crisis we are currently experiencing much more rapidly. Support for poor people will allow them to feel that they have not been rejected. This programme makes a significant contribution to the fight against poverty, and extending its budget would represent major progress in the fight against the crisis. Financial assistance for the most deprived allows them to gain more qualifications and helps them to find a way out of the unfortunate situation in which they currently find themselves. It motivates them to take further action and improve themselves. The universal services we are discussing here, such as education, health care, transport, energy and telecommunications, guarantee that EU society will be cohesive, healthy, well-educated and thus politically and professionally active, and they translate into a higher percentage of well-educated workers on the market, which in turn results in the growth of a competitive social market economy, making it possible to fight the crisis and subsequently to achieve economic growth."@en1
