lpv:translated text	"Eighty-five million people are threatened with poverty in Europe. The economic crisis that we are going through is making young people (of whom one in five is unemployed), women and single parents even more vulnerable. Precarious conditions among workers are also increasing: the number of those who are affected by poverty is currently 19 million. Whereas 2010 was declared ‘European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion’, a recent Eurobarometer survey on citizens’ opinion of the EU showed that 74% of them expect the EU to play an important role in this area. Let us listen to them and act. I supported the resolution on the role of a minimum income in tackling poverty and in promoting an inclusive society in Europe. Unfortunately, the 27 Member States do not all have a national minimum income. Consequently I supported the invitation made to the Commission to use its right of initiative in order to propose a framework directive establishing the principle of a suitable minimum income in Europe based on common criteria, although this invitation was unfortunately rejected."@en1
