"General population ageing is a phenomenon common to the whole of the European Union, which will change considerably over the next 20 years. During the 1995-2015 period, it is estimated that the 20-29 age group will lose 11 million people (–20%), whereas the 50-64 age group will increase by 16.5 million (+25%). I am voting in favour of this report because I believe that Europe must increasingly concern itself with the active and healthy ageing of its citizens, by defining programme actions that stimulate or increase independence, prevent accidents, provide rehabilitation following illness and promote the practice of sporting activities throughout Europe.
The European Year for Active Ageing must also be seen as an opportunity to establish greater intergenerational solidarity, given that the exchange of knowledge between elderly people and young people will both improve the future generations’ qualifications and skills and allow the life experience of the elderly to be valued. It should also be a year geared towards making European companies aware of the importance of developing new products and services aimed at meeting the special needs of this particular sector of the population."@en1
