". This Regulation and the extension of the programme to the end of 2013 are, on the whole, positive news in this period of suffering for the most deprived. However, an agreement between a number of Member States not to extend these measures beyond 2014 because they would be purely a Member State competence is unacceptable. That attitude reveals several contradictions. There is a contradiction between the pressure on national budgets from the economic governance measures and the desire to add to them the burden of this aid. There is a contradiction between the Member States having sole competence in the social field for the MDP scheme, but not for the wage levels or pensions affected by the economic governance measures. There is a contradiction between this position of certain Member States and my report on poverty, in which Parliament calls for the programme to be continued after 2014 and states that the austerity measures must not undermine social protection. The Union’s solidarity is at stake and the citizens are watching us. We must consolidate this programme for the years to come."@en1
