"I voted for this report with complete conviction. The figures are shocking: 116 million people in the EU are facing poverty, in other words, a quarter of its 500 million inhabitants. The risk it poses has a direct impact on rural areas, women and young people. I concur with the notion that poverty can be regarded as a violation of human rights. Homelessness is one of the most serious forms of poverty. Poverty affects the state of health of those in question and reduces their life expectancy. I believe that we need Member States’ actions in this area to be coordinated by the Commission. Member States need technical assistance. I support the report and I, too, call on the Commission to provide sufficient funding for the initiatives for tackling poverty and social exclusion, especially those concerning leaving school early and tackling poverty among children."@en1
