"I welcome the initiative against poverty and social exclusion, and the EU’s commitment to fighting poverty within Europe. At this time of financial difficulty especially, it is important that the EU does not forget about those most in need in our society. Poverty is an issue that must be combated through cooperation between Member States and the EU. At Member State level, nations should consider a wide range of areas, including particular emphasis on education and health, in order to reduce both current and future poverty. Job creation and training should be considered to help those currently struggling below the poverty line. Further investment in education at all levels should be incorporated to prepare future generations to stay out of poverty. Likewise, health, sanitation and other concerns related to individuals’ wellbeing must be addressed. The EU as a whole needs to address poverty through ambitious leadership, such as setting the 2020 target of liberating 20 million people from poverty. We, as Europeans, need to seek justice for all by reducing poverty in the EU and working towards equal opportunities for all, in order to successfully provide citizens with the basic human dignity and rights provided within our Treaties."@en1
