2010: European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion
The European Year demonstrates the European Commission’s dedication to fighting against poverty. It will focus on four main objectives:
• Recognition means recognising the right of people in a situation of poverty and social exclusion to live in dignity and to play a full part in society
• Ownership implies increasing public ownership of social inclusion policies, emphasising everyone’s responsibility in tackling poverty and marginalisation
• Cohesion spells out our vision for Europe: a more cohesive society is one where no one doubts that everyone will benefit from the eradication of poverty
• Commitment: we can only eradicate poverty as a result of a substantial and consistent effort that involves all levels of governance, at EU and national level
