lpv:translated text	"It is alarming to see that some 30 million European citizens do not currently have a bank account, the majority of whom include the homeless, students abroad and expatriate workers. Access to basic banking services must urgently be recognised as a fundamental right of all European citizens. All persons legally residing in the Union should effectively be able to open a bank account and carry out simple transactions such as receiving wages, paying bills and withdrawing money, free of charge or at reasonable cost. It is abhorrent to see that low income, employment and level of indebtedness remain grounds for the denial of a bank account. Banks must provide services for the most vulnerable and stop focusing only on the most attractive consumers. Social inclusion is also at issue: access to a bank account is effectively often a prerequisite for access to employment, health care and housing. In spite of the recommendations previously drawn up by Commission on this matter, too many Member States do not comply with them. It must therefore tackle this financial exclusion and submit the relevant measures quickly."@en1
