The Union is to combat poverty, social exclusion and discrimination and promote social justice and protection, as well as equality between women and men. This overall objective should not be put at risk of spillover from Union legal acts and policies in other areas.
Unija se mora boriti proti revščini, socialni izključenosti in diskriminaciji ter spodbujati socialno pravičnost in zaščito ter enakost žensk in moških. Tega splošnega cilja ne bi smelo ogrožati tveganje prelivanja zaradi pravnih aktov in politik Unije na drugih področjih.
