"I welcomed this motion for a resolution because I am convinced that the homelessness issue must be addressed in various European Union Member States, because homelessness continues to affect people in all EU Member States and is an unacceptable violation of human dignity. Homelessness also represents one of the most extreme forms of poverty and deprivation, and it has increased in recent years in several European Union Member States. When implementing an EU homelessness strategy, the Treaty of Lisbon, which stipulates that the essential role and the wide discretion of national, regional and local authorities is providing, commissioning and organising services of general economic interest as closely as possible to the needs of the users, should be fully respected. I believe that it is up to the Member States themselves to define the remits of affordable social housing, and that an EU homelessness strategy should be fully compliant with the social housing policy of Member States, which legally enshrines the principle of promoting the social mix and fighting social segregation. Homelessness has emerged as a clear priority within the EU’s social inclusion process, and the Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council must therefore discuss how to develop an EU homelessness strategy."@en1
