"Mr President, I voted in favour of adopting the Kastler report on the European Year for Active Ageing. This week, news agencies reported that some scientists believe the first person to live to the age of 150 has already been born somewhere in the world. This shows the enormity of the challenges facing us. This is not about beating records for longevity. What is more significant is that the average age is increasing, and that the proportion of older people within the social structure is substantially larger than ever before. In turn, this means that solidarity, as one of the fundamental European values, is taking on ever greater significance in terms of intergenerational solidarity. It is therefore entirely justified to ensure that active ageing is one of our priorities. Paradoxically, strengthening intergenerational solidarity is also in the interests of young people. After all, today’s young people are tomorrow’s senior citizens."@en1
