lpv:translated text	". The report on social inclusion in the new Member States highlights a wide range of new challenges. The rapporteur has identified these challenges very clearly, and I would like to congratulate him on his excellent work. Poverty and the related problem of social inclusion have a specific dimension in the new Member States. This is not only because the poverty threshold is considerably lower in absolute terms, which means that poverty is ultimately more severe than in the 15 old Member States; it is also because poverty takes on special forms for the women of these countries. All sources indicate that single parents and older women are the most likely to face a greater risk. The opinion of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality therefore highlights extreme forms of poverty and an absolute shortage of comparable and reliable data. However, there is a very dangerous phenomenon that seems to be emerging, and which has been overshadowed by data on the adult population, namely the high risk of child poverty. Although analyses indicate that poverty affecting children is often more severe and that the number of children facing the risk of poverty is increasing, exact figures are not available. University research conducted in 2001 estimated that the risk of child poverty in the old Member States exceeded that of the adult population by as much as 14%. A national report on youth policy which was published in my country yesterday states that the proportion of children facing poverty is 30%, or as much as 40% for those in single families. It is impossible to ignore the correlation between this figure and the alarmingly high number of early school-leavers: 14% of girls and 18% of boys in Europe in 2004. Ladies and gentlemen, poverty is generally said to have a woman’s face. We should perhaps modify this generalisation: poverty has a child’s face. When considering implementation of the Lisbon Strategy and the Social Inclusion Strategy, we should bear this in mind."@en1
