".
The amendments tabled during the vote on my report on social inclusion weakened its substance on significant points. In fact, of the 19 amendments tabled by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, 12 of those that were approved sought to remove important aspects of the real strategy that needs to be developed to effectively promote social inclusion and to include the negative approach of defending temporary work, which runs counter to the promise and the idea of full employment. The removal of the points dealing with the following issues is particularly significant:
the importance of social transfers, notably old-age pensions, without which 41% of the European Union’s population would be at risk of living in poverty; and other social transfers without which, even if old-age pensions were maintained, the percentage would still be 26% of the population as opposed to the 18% currently in that position;
an assessment of the impact of monetary policies, including the Stability Pact, on social matters such as employment, poverty and social exclusion, equal rights and opportunities, and so on.
Finally, it should be noted that other PPE-DE amendments were rejected, which has enabled important aspects of the report to be preserved. Hence my abstention from the final vote."@en1
