Această plată este suficient de mare ca să asigure, fiecărui individ în parte, o existenţă demnă și participarea la viaţa socială. Sistemele sociale actuale sunt nepotrivite pentru a se eradica „rădăcinile” sărăciei. UBI ar transforma securitatea socială dintr-un sistem compensatoriu într-un sistem emancipatoriu, un sistem care acordă încredere cetăţenilor, îi încurajează pe aceștia să ia propriile decizii și nu-i stigmatizează în funcţie de circumstanţe." si mai pe inteles "UBI trebuie să fie suficient de mare, astfel încât să garanteze pentru fiecare cetăţean o existenţă demnă. Va oferi libertatea oamenilor de a face alegeri cu privire la propriile lor vieţi, fără a se teme de sărăcie. Va acţiona ca o “plasă de salvare” pentru numărul crescând de oameni care au contracte de muncă pe termen scrurt sau care nu au deloc contracte de muncă. Îi va ajuta și pe aceia care doresc să-și pornească propriile afaceri. UBI reprezintă un venit garantat, primit de toţi deopotrivă, care se adaugă la celelalte venituri.
Prin promovarea echităţii și participării economice, comncomitent cu simplificarea sistemelor de ajutor social, UBI conduce la o societate mai dreaptă și mai eficientă." Pe data de 14 ianuarie 2013, Comisia Europeană a acceptat Iniţiativa Cetăţenilor Europeni pentru un Venit de Bază Necondiţionat (UBI), determinând o campanie de un an de zile, implicând cetăţenii din toate statele UE. ADICA "Pe 15 decembrie 2013, un număr de 33 de membri ai Parlamentului European, din 12 ţări diferite, au exprimat o declaraţie comună de susţinere pentru UBI"

33 MEPs call for support for the EU Citizens' Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income
On the 28th of November, 29 members of the European Parliament from 12 different European Countries issued a joint statement (pdf) expressing their support for the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) for Unconditional Basic Income. This calls upon the European Commission to assess the idea of reforming current national social security arrangements towards an unconditional basic income (UBI).
NB: As of december 15th, 33 MEPs have signed the statement of support.
UBI is a regular, universal payment to everyone without means-testing or work conditions. It should be high enough to guarantee everyone a dignified existence. It would let people make choices about what to do in life without fear of poverty. It would act as a cushion for the increasing numbers of people who have short-term or zero-hour contracts, and those starting up their own businesses.
Many financing schemes have been elaborated over the years in several countries. The European Initiative for UBI is asking for further studies to be started at the EU level.
MEPs ask all Europeans to support this initiative. All EU citizens eligible to vote can support this ECI either via the internet (http://sign.basicincome2013.eu) or on paper. One million signatures are needed by 14 January 2014 to make sure it lands on the EC’s desk.
The current social security systems are demeaning and inadequate in addressing the roots of poverty, the MEPs emphasize.
“Unconditional Basic Income would transform social security from a compensatory system into an emancipatory system, one that trusts people to make their own decisions, and does not stigmatise them for their circumstances,” the statement says.
“We believe a new form of social security is urgently needed as social security systems in individual countries become increasingly conditional and punitive, they undermine individual dignity, form barriers to civic participation and deepen divisions in European society both across and within national borders.”
They also said this new form of social security is far simpler than existing (often chaotic and burdensome) systems, would help balance income disparities and could help mitigate the social and racial tensions caused by economic migration.
The Organizing Committee of the European Citizens' Initiative congratulates the MEPs’ for their commitment and is looking forward to getting further support in the EU parliament, where it will hold a conference on the 9th of december.
