"We regret that our proposals denouncing the causes of poverty and proposing the alternatives needed for its eradication were not adopted. Specifically, our proposals were:
to condemn so-called austerity policies and programmes that are exacerbating poverty and social exclusion; to insist on the need to change profoundly EU economic, financial and social policy, which is the root of current poverty: in particular, the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), the Euro Plus Pact, and the liberalisation and privatisation of essential public services;
to demand the rejection of the SGP and the Euro Plus Pact, and to call for their replacement with a social progress and development pact that prioritises jobs with rights, social inclusion and poverty eradication;
to consider that poverty, which is affecting people who already have a job, does not reflect equitable working conditions, and to call for efforts to be focused on changing this situation, in order that pay, in general, and minimum wages, in particular, might be able to ensure a dignified standard of living, irrespective of being laid down in law or by collective agreements."@en1
