"I voted in favour of this resolution providing for measures which will make an important contribution to achieving the EU’s priority objective of reducing the number of people at risk of poverty or exclusion by 20 million by 2020. We must make every effort to ensure that, in every Member State, the main objective of income support schemes is to protect people from poverty and social exclusion. A state’s greatest asset is not its land or its factories. Its greatest asset are its people, and states must care for them, above all else. A state must ensure a positive business environment in the country and concern itself with the employment of its population. The minimum wage must guarantee people a decent standard of living. The constantly rising costs of food, energy and housing are among the main reasons for deprivation, poverty and homelessness. Given the current situation and the implementation of the objectives set, I agree with the proposal for the Commission to draw up a framework directive on the quality and accessibility of social services of general interest and a set of framework guidelines and principles with a view to ensuring adequate and sustainable European pension arrangements."@en1
