lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, poverty is the cause of the great inequalities on our planet. We cannot accept a system in the 21st century that continues to exacerbate differences between people because of their place of birth, gender, or their country’s development prospects. It is vital to create a new social, employment and economic framework that will ensure the basic needs of our population. Around 80 million people live below the poverty line, of whom more than half are women and 20 million are children. The platform that is the subject of this report could help to achieve greater social justice in Europe. It calls for priority to be placed on education and youth policies as a key element around which to build a fairer and more just society; for an overhaul of the insecure employment contracts that have proliferated in many Member States, undermining protection of the weakest groups in society; for the recognition of the rights of women living in rural areas, whose work is not valued and who are excluded from the basic rights enjoyed by all workers; and for an improvement in national home care programmes for the elderly. The austerity measures that are so badly needed at this time of crisis must not be incompatible with maintaining basic social services. Some 116 million people are threatened by poverty in the European Union, and 42 million live in conditions of severe material deprivation. We must ensure these people’s social protection and create a more prosperous environment that will help to reduce these figures. Lastly, I would like to say how pleased I am with the Council’s decision, following several months of stalled negotiations, to release food aid for the poorest members of society. It is essential to maintain this economic support in the new 2014-2020 funding cycle, with an annual maximum amount of EUR 500 million."@en1
