"I voted for the European Parliament resolution on the European Platform against poverty and exclusion because many European citizens have seen their quality of life decline as a result of the financial and economic crisis.
I voted for Amendments 6 and 7, which called for Member States to agree on an EU target for minimum income schemes and to adopt minimum wages (via legislation or as part of collective agreements), in order to ensure equal remuneration of at least 60% of the (national, sectoral, etc.) average wage.
I voted for Amendment 8, which calls on the EU to support the introduction of social and ecological minimum standards so as to prevent poverty and social exclusion, in particular, energy poverty and rising rents, which lead to evictions and homelessness.
I voted for paragraphs 71 and 95, which repeat Parliament’s call for sectoral legislative initiatives in relation to the quality and accessibility of social services of general interest, in particular, in the areas of health, education, public transport, energy, water and communications, and encourage Member States to guarantee a minimum income based on at least 60% of the median income in each Member State."@en1
