lpv:spoken text	"I welcome today’s resolution on basic bank accounts, and the Commission’s response during the debate, as being important steps towards greater social inclusion. An estimated 30 million European citizens do not have a bank account and approximately 7 million have been refused access to one. While some may choose not to be within the banking system (and, given current events, who can be surprised at their decision?), many others do not have a choice. They then find it difficult to take out contracts for housing or other essential services, and may find themselves paying higher prices for domestic utilities as companies effectively charge a premium for what they view as ‘high-risk’ groups: the poorest are often hit hardest. I look forward to the Commission’s proposal on legislation later this year."@en1
