"I welcome the fact that at the most recent meeting of the European Council a compromise was outlined regarding the European Union’s economic programme covering the period to 2020 and on providing aid to Greece. The economic growth set as a target in the strategy is at the same time a prerequisite for emerging from the labour market and social crisis. It is to be welcomed that the European Council is devoting a great deal of attention to increasing employment not only among young and older workers but also among the low skilled. Increasing employment among the targeted groups must go hand in hand with the acquisition of skills that have market value, as well as with fostering lifelong learning. I also agree with the Hungarian Government’s efforts to get us to think, in the fight against poverty, about quantitative regional cohesion goals instead of poverty-related objectives, since those living in poverty and particularly in severe poverty within the EU live in clearly defined geographical regions. This would allow harmonisation of the handling of poverty and of the complex problems of underdeveloped regions. At the same time, it is important that when the objectives of the 2020 strategy are adopted, the decision-makers have available accurate data as regards the level and proportion of poverty in society. Although the handling of the economic crisis and the EU 2020 strategy set out the direction to be followed, the request raised by the Visegrad countries is entirely understandable, namely, that the debate on this matter should not determine the long-term monetary perspective after 2013. Debating the latter will require longer negotiations, and it is impossible to foresee how much financial room for manoeuvre circumstances in 2012-2013 will afford the EU."@en1
