"Mr President, I voted for the Figuereido report on the eradication of social exclusion and poverty, to quote the actual text of the report. However, I am amazed and extremely disappointed at many of the votes cast regarding some of the amendments. I am absolutely convinced that 99% of the responsibility for social exclusion and poverty lies with the governments of our 15 States. In the past, they have all vied with each other to increase social exclusion and poverty and they are continuing to do so now. If indeed, for example, pensions were less inadequate in terms of the standard of living they allow, there would be fewer poor people. Group of the European People's Party, why did you vote against the Fatuzzo amendment – tabled by myself – which stated that poverty is also one of the causes of low pensions? I am extremely disappointed and I hope that you will vote differently next time."@en1
