lpv:translated text	"− I welcomed this document, because it is aimed at designating 2012 as the European Year for Active Ageing and allocating money for this from the EU budget. Eurostat’s demographic projections predict a decrease of about 6.8% of people of working age in 2030. Thus, there will only be two people of working age (15-64) to support one retired person (over 65), compared to a ratio of four to one today. The EU will therefore experience a steep increase in the number of older people and a large decline in the proportion of the population aged below 50, which may, in turn, increase pressure on public budgets and pension systems, as well as on social and care services. Furthermore, old age is still often associated with illnesses and dependence on other people, and older people can feel unwanted by the labour market, their families and community life. The proposed initiative would encourage and support the efforts of Member States, their regional and local authorities, social partners and civil society to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly growing population currently in their 50s and above. The European Year should therefore serve as a framework for raising awareness, for identifying and disseminating good practice and, most importantly, for encouraging policymakers and stakeholders at all levels to promote active ageing."@en1
