"I voted in favour of developing an EU homelessness strategy. Homelessness is, today, a problem which affects all the countries of the EU, which is why we should challenge it on an international scale. Only by coordinated action at all levels, local, regional, national and international, can progress be made in combating homelessness. Once the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force, and with it the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the EU has to respect ‘the right to social and housing assistance so as to ensure a decent existence for all those who lack sufficient resources, in accordance with the rules laid down by Community law and national laws and practices,’ (Article 34(3)).
So with the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion the time has come for specific action. Not only do we need local and regional strategies for combating poverty, but also a common ‘library’ for exchanging best practice at international level. The EU homelessness strategy should focus on the promotion of high quality services for the homeless, and should include urban planning, housing construction and social policy."@en1
