"On the one hand, demographic change means that people fortunately have longer life expectancies and remain physically and mentally active for longer. On the other, birth rates in the Member States have remained at low levels for decades, and the older generations account for an ever increasing proportion of the population. The limits of the intergenerational contract have been reached. Active ageing means a process of maximising the potential for people to stay healthy, participate in the life of their communities and improve their quality of life as they grow older. I am firmly convinced that 2012 should be declared the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, with a view to highlighting the contribution that young and older people make to society. That is why I have done my best here to give all the support needed for Europe to overcome this challenge."@en1
