"As has already been said, the subject of poverty is occupying a high place on our agenda. We are all aware of the statistics, the percentages and the rhetoric on this topic; the fact that such a large number of citizens are living below the poverty line is a serious matter that needs to be addressed without delay. It is a wonderful thing to be able to fight poverty by generating more jobs and encouraging the establishment of structures that can help us reach our goal. This includes a plan to help European citizens to receive the necessary training that will translate into a job that pays. We also require the necessary funds to provide support to those countries that are still lagging behind in this respect so that they, too, can fulfil these goals. Clearly therefore, we need to encourage as many people as possible to enter the labour market, women in particular. This report thoroughly evaluates this situation and here I would very much like to thank and congratulate the rapporteur on her very useful work. However, we must make sure that we do not rush forward blindly, for the provisions in the treaty on the subsidiarity principle must continue to be respected. To apply a one-size-fits-all concept to the whole of Europe is not a practical solution. Moreover, we do not yet have the necessary legal basis that our treaty requires for this. Subsequently, Member States should be free to regulate these requirements according to their own needs, unencumbered."@en1
