"Although 2010 was designated ‘European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion’, the phenomenon of homelessness continues to affect every European country, to an alarming degree in some Member States. The European Union is committed, within the framework of the Europe 2020 strategy, to reduce the number of people affected by or at risk of poverty or social exclusion by at least 20 million by 2020. It is of course a priority objective and the concerns arising from the debt crisis should not obscure this phenomenon. The fight against homelessness calls for concrete, ambitious measures. I would like the Member States of the European Union to provide themselves with the resources needed to combat poverty and social exclusion by implementing an overall strategy which deals with every aspect of homelessness (housing, support, coordination of actions and of the players on the ground). That is why I welcome the adoption of the motion for a resolution on an EU homelessness dtrategy. At a time of sluggish economic growth and gloomy financial markets, this resolution will focus discussions once more on the human dimension of the crisis and allow us to send a strong political message to this effect to the Member States."@en1
