73% of Europeans consider poverty to be a widespread problem in their country while 89% want urgent action by their government to tackle the problem. Those are the key results from a new Eurobarometer survey on attitudes to poverty and social exclusion presented by the European Commission on 27 October 2009. The survey was presented ahead of the 2010 European Year Against Poverty.
