".
The Commission’s report on social protection and social inclusion confirms that Member States are stepping up their efforts to combat poverty and to ensure that pension schemes remain capable of delivering adequate incomes for pensioners. The report points out, however, that more than 68 million or 15% of the EU population were living at risk of poverty in 2002.
In spite of significant structural improvements in the labour market in the EU, employment and participation remain inadequate. Unemployment remains high in a number of Member States, particularly among the young, older workers and women. Labour market exclusion has a national but also a local and regional dimension, according to the report.
I wholeheartedly back the Bauer report, which commends the measures put forward by the Commission aimed at helping the Member States to recognise the difficulties facing people at a disadvantage and to support the integration of such people, to boost job creation, training and career development, the reconciliation of professional and family life and the right to equal access to healthcare and decent accommodation, and to ensure the sustainability of social protection systems."@en1
