lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as rapporteur on the flagship initiative aimed at combating poverty in the current context of budgetary pressure on the Member States and the Union, I am convinced that Europe’s economic recovery will be effective only if the focus is purely on budgetary restraint. The objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, and poverty reduction in particular, are vital. Social policies cannot take second place: they must be conducted alongside budgetary restraint policies. Therefore, as well as ensuring that citizens have a decent quality of life, poverty reduction has significant economic consequences, including that of support for European consumption. Homelessness is certainly one of the most advanced stages of poverty for impoverished and socially excluded individuals. Once they have lost their home, it becomes even more difficult for individuals whose main concern is knowing where they are going to sleep that night to re-enter the labour market. I therefore support all of the measures recommended in the oral question and the resolution and, in particular, the idea of an affordable housing supply. In this respect, social housing is the responsibility of the Member States, which are free to plan this service of general interest as they see fit. Attention should be drawn to this aspect of the Treaties, so that the Member States are never hampered in their efforts to combat homelessness by rules on State aid. For all these reasons, this resolution must be endorsed. I hope that it will be adopted by a large majority so that I can refer to it in my forthcoming report."@en1
