"The European Union has declared the year 2010 to be the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. On 17 October 2010, there were 23 commemorations of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty which had been announced by the UN. On this day, all over the world, special events were organised to show solidarity and sympathy with the needs of the socially excluded.
The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty above all aims to make the public aware of the need to eliminate worldwide poverty, particularly in developing countries, and to stress the fact that combating poverty is our priority. It is also important to pay greater attention to the causes and consequences of poverty in Europe. I repeat, in Europe. This is why the implementation of the European Union programme for free distribution of food to the poorest among us, at a cost of EUR 500 million annually, is so important. The initiative to commemorate the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is very useful in that it helps us to be aware of the scale of poverty worldwide and to find causes and solutions to the problem. Thank you."@en1
