"One in three Latin Americans still lives below the poverty line. This figure represents 180 million people, of whom 52 million live on less than EUR 2 per day. Ten countries in this region remain among the 15 most unequal countries in the world. Twenty-eight million people in Latin America do not know how to read or write, and malnutrition rates are above 20%. Forty-four million people remain outside the social welfare systems. Although Latin America has recently made significant progress in reducing poverty, recent data on poverty, unemployment and poor social conditions are shocking. According to the Treaty of Lisbon, the overall objective of development cooperation is to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable economic and social development. The European Union should collaborate with all Latin American countries in the fight against poverty and this effort now must remain a priority for the EU. I firmly believe that it is this fight against poverty, reducing inequality and ensuring access to basic services which form the basis of social cohesion, that must remain a priority at all times."@en1
