lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, I welcome this resolution on homelessness, since we have a duty to remind people of how extremely urgent the matter is. Let us note, first of all, that what was a priority yesterday is even more of a priority today. The lack of a definition and of reliable statistical indicators on homelessness cannot prevent us from concluding that, partly as a result of the crisis, the number of people living below the poverty line has increased, according to Eurostat, from 79 million in 2009 to an estimated 84 million in 2011. Ladies and gentlemen, three years ago, our Parliament, in an effort to eradicate poverty, called on the Member States to solve the problems faced by homeless people by 2015. Today, have we even partially achieved our objective? Did the Member States really take advantage of 2010, the year for combating poverty, to actually address this major source of insecurity, which has become a chronic emergency? If I may say so, I genuinely doubt it, and I deeply regret it. To conclude, I wish to stress the need to develop a comprehensive multisectoral strategy on homelessness, because poverty and homelessness certainly do exist, but there are also family problems, health issues, various addictions and personal vulnerability. We need a comprehensive, effective, ambitious and tailored approach that caters for individuals, the different paths they take and the significant life events they face. This is a fundamental right, to say the least, and one that many very vulnerable people are deprived of."@en1
