"I voted in favour of this report. Upwards of 116 million people in the EU are at risk of poverty and around 42 million live in conditions of severe material deprivation. Social inequality is increasing in some Member States, in particular, as a result of economic inequality in terms of income and wealth distribution, labour market inequalities, social insecurity and unequal access to the social functions of the state, such as welfare, health, education, etc. The European Platform against Poverty is one of the seven flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 strategy aimed at reducing the number of people in poverty and reducing social exclusion. The scheme for food distribution to the most deprived people in the Union, set up in 1987, currently provides food aid for 13 million people suffering from poverty, and its distribution chains involve some 240 food banks and charities. I welcome the Council agreement to cancel the cut in funding for this important scheme."@en1
