"Mr President, Commissioner, we are today discussing very important issues of employment, social rights and health protection. All of this has a dimension in relation to the family, the basic unit of society. It also concerns those with disabilities, retired persons and pensioners, as well as the very painful problem of unemployment. Establishing a proper relationship between pay and work, together with dignified social security, is not some sort of favour. It is a duty imposed on us by our concern for the future of Europe. The funds allocated to social policy by the Member States must be better directed, as must the European Social Fund.
Our continent is now ageing very quickly. But do we see the shortcomings of European policy on the family? What do we have to say about family incomes? Where is our solidarity with the poor? I use the word solidarity advisedly at a time when we are celebrating the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the Solidarity movement and trade union, which contributed to the great changes that have taken place in Europe."@en1
