"2010 was declared European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. On this occasion, the European Union decided that the issue of the homeless would have to be solved by 2015. However, we are far from achieving this. If we are to believe the Caritas organisation, as we approach the start of 2012, 3 million Europeans are homeless. The European Union must grant itself resources equal to its ambitions. That is why, in the vote at the last part-session, I supported the European Parliament’s motion for a resolution on an EU homelessness strategy. This text urges the Council to consider the creation of an EU homelessness strategy and calls on the Commission to create a working group to consider the content of this strategy. It also calls on the Member States to urgently progress towards the goal of ending street homelessness by 2015. To achieve this, it would be very useful to have half-yearly or annual progress reports on the issue. The scope of the reports should include the reduction in the amount of time spent by the homeless without accommodation, the quality of the services provided for these people and access to affordable housing."@en1
