"Whilst the crisis is continuing, resulting in more poverty and a more insecure society, and whilst austerity plans, which, although necessary, are insufficient, are hitting hard at groups that are already in a weakened situation, there is no time to waste for the 116 million people in the EU who are threatened by poverty and social exclusion. This report is not legislative but it has the merit of establishing a fairly comprehensive view of the situation and identifying several ways to improve the situation by putting forward a model of society based on ‘social’ values. The development of a suitable European action will require the development of national platforms to fight poverty and the full use of the existing options in the Treaty of Lisbon, in the first instance, the famous horizontal social clause. It is only by truly taking into account the social impacts of every European policy that we will achieve this famous social dimension to the EU that seems to be so far off at present. As the preservation of social rights in the Union is fundamental, the specific nature of services of general social interest must be recognised and the discussion of sectoral legislative initiatives on the quality and accessibility of these services must continue."@en1
