lpv:translated text	". I should to take the opportunity offered by this debate and this resolution to reiterate my firm conviction on the important question of ageing in general, which I believe is the positive consequence of longer life expectancy and the ageing of developed society rather than of a fall in the birth rate. We have to move beyond the idea of ageing as a handicap and look on it as a valuable resource to society. Obviously this means we need more social action and solidarity and benefits tailored to all ages and we need to safeguard pension schemes, but the importance of the elderly to society goes far beyond that. It takes account of their experience, what they have lived through, their voluntary help and what young people can learn from them. It imposes a different attitude towards ageing. We need a real ‘cultural revolution’ if we want to prevent an ageing society from being seen as a society in regression. So-called modern society would do well to take a leaf out of the book of traditional societies here."@en1
