"Madam President, I fully support this oral question and this resolution because we are faced with a problem that is unworthy of Europe, unworthy of the values that we uphold, and unworthy of the average standard of living that we have in Europe. The crisis has significantly exacerbated the problem of homelessness, but I believe it is important to recognise, today, that we all face the same threat: any European can fall victim to homelessness in the future. The first tool that we can use is, of course, the European Social Fund, which enables people to integrate and reintegrate into the labour market, to enter work and to adapt to new jobs, and unemployed people to return to work. However, beyond this – and in my capacity as Chair of the Working Group on the European Social Fund and Progress – I wish to stress that the Progress programme can, and must, help us to act more quickly in resolving this problem: through prevention, firstly, but also by defining, together, indicators to provide us with a genuinely effective policy or approach regarding access to housing. Good practices exist at European level to achieve these objectives. I believe that, together – in the Commission and in our Working Group, as well as in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, with our Chair, Ms Berès – we must work out what is being done and what works in the Member States, which strategies are genuinely forward-looking, and whether individual support, coaching, a one-to-one approach and personal supervision can really be important factors in enabling us to resolve these problems, which are unworthy of Europe."@en1
