"Madam President, I would agree with much of what our colleague there has just said: that if we look at the UK, for example – and this is supposed to be one of the world’s strongest economies at the moment – we have 30% of children classified as poor, and two-thirds of them are in working households. So there’s something to be said about the wage level which is not actually allowing families to live and children to be properly cared for.
So when we’re looking at the Commission’s recommendation and the Council’s buy-in, we know that they recognised – as Parliament does; we see it in our development aid policies – that those first thousand days of life are critical. And yet we look at some of the measures we take, and the Fundamental Rights Agency has reported more than once that the link between national child poverty rates, the country—specific recommendations formulated and the measures suggested in the national reform programmes are not always clear. So can we join up our thinking to make sure we have the effect that we want?"@en1
