"Parliament is today urging the Member States and the Commission to draw up true strategies on homelessness and this is something that I welcome. According to some reports, three million Europeans are homeless. However, we have no harmonised research on this sad phenomenon and, despite the good intentions set out in the EU 2020 strategy (to reduce the poverty rate by 25% by 2020), in 2010, the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, the situation only became worse. The crisis and the migratory pressures resulting from the Arab Spring force us to go beyond the thinking stage and act against these injustices. Europe can do a great deal and, above all, can do better by imposing a uniform analytical framework for poverty and homelessness and by developing the PROGRESS programme, which allows the exchange of feedback, experiments with new initiatives and the encouragement of microcredit. Moreover, the current mechanism, which makes projects relating to the housing of marginalised communities eligible for FEDER, would improve if it were promoted and extended. Finally, Europe must clarify its regulations on social services of general interest, especially in relation to social housing and emergency hostels for the most deprived people."@en1
