lpv:translated text	"The fact that the vast majority in Europe have homes/houses does not mean that a problem of homelessness does not exist. All of us know that when we walk around our capitals and major towns, we still see people sleeping on the sidewalks, huddled up in cardboard boxes. Perhaps my country (Malta) is one of the few countries where homelessness does not exist any more. President Mandela once said that he wanted every family in Africa to have at least one room to live in. Compared to Africa and other continents, the problem of homelessness in the EU is not a major problem. On the other hand, for those persons who do not have a home (even if the percentage is low), it is a tragedy. That is why we need a strategy across the EU for the homeless. It is not enough that every country has its own way of dealing with the problem, some more successfully than others. If we believe in a real union of European countries, we have to have a strategy for homelessness which goes beyond the borders of individual countries."@en1
