"Governments' austerity measures have only been worsening an already dramatic situation, shows EAPN's new report on the social impact of the crisis and of the recovery policies in 2010. EAPN's report clearly demonstrates that:
* The social impact is getting worse, as Governments' austerity measures make the poor pay and undermine a sustainable recovery.
* The social impact is being systematically under-assessed and ignored.
* NGOs are gravely weakened and their fundamental contribution to society is at stake.
* The crisis was not inevitable and was a result of deregulation and increasing inequality, not public sector spending.
* Another, fairer way is possible – towards prosperity for all.
* The EU must restore the core values of the European Project, and use Europe 2020 to drive an ambitious social and sustainable vision."
