"According to recent statistics, the number of people in the European Union aged 65 or over is expected to grow by 70% by 2050, with a 170% rise in the number of people aged over 80.
This means that in 2060, the proportion of citizens in the EU-27 aged over 65 will reach 30%.
The European Union must find solutions to meet the ever-greater demand for healthcare, to adapt healthcare systems to the needs of an ageing population, and to maintain their viability against the background of the growing labour shortage.
The Commission, Member States and, in particular, local authorities must find solutions for adapting housing, means of public transport and even sectors such as tourism in order to be able to meet the specific needs of elderly people.
I welcome the adoption of European regulations on passengers’ rights, especially for people with reduced mobility, as is the case for many elderly people travelling by boat, plane or train."@en1
