"One of the Europe 2020 strategy’s targets is to reduce the number of people in precarious situations by 20 million by 2020. One of the seven flagship measures of this strategy is the European platform against poverty and social exclusion, whose framework for social and territorial cohesion was tabled by the Commission on 16 December 2010, when the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion was about to finish.
This report, drafted by Mr Daerden, concerns the European platform against poverty and social exclusion, and argues that solidarity between the Member States and the citizens has to be a priority for the European Union. The economic and financial crisis, which started in 2008, has been an obstacle to economic growth and, consequently, to job creation, which is one of the pillars of combating poverty and social exclusion. The EU should encourage the Member States to ease their austerity policies with new investments, both public and private.
I welcome the adoption of this report and I hope it will contribute to significantly reducing the number of Europeans at risk of poverty from 80 million, 20 million of whom are children."@en1
