"According to the latest Eurobarometer survey, citizens want the Union to tackle two problems in particular. The first is coordination of the economies of the individual Member States. Citizens feel threatened by the crisis and expect concerted action at European level. The Danish Presidency has set realistic goals in this area. Their ambition is to be consistent and implement the measures agreed by the Council and subsequently this Parliament. Citizens want coordination, however, not centralisation. That is why I warmly welcome the fact that the Danish Presidency of the Council rejects the introduction of a European tax on financial transactions. Citizens consider the second major priority to be tackling poverty and social exclusion. Here, Denmark could build on the results of the Hungarian Presidency in the social sphere and the promotion of solidarity between the generations. Improving conditions for the family, which forms the basic social network, should be one of the top priorities of European countries during a crisis. Paradoxically, however, it was during the European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations that the family ceased to be a political priority."@en1
