Common
Objectives
The European Council of Lisbon (March 2000) agreed on the need to
take steps to make a decisive impact on the eradication of poverty by 2010.
It has also agreed that Member States’ policies for combating social
exclusion should be based on an open method of co-ordination combining common
objectives,
National
Action Plans and a programme presented by
the Commission to encourage co-operation in this field. The Nice European
Council (Dec. 2000) adopted the common objectives in the fight against social
exclusion and poverty.
