"Mr President, I am very grateful to the rapporteur Mr Kastler for drafting the report on the European Year for Active Ageing 2012 and making it possible for us to vote on it today in Parliament. I am pleased that we are talking about active ageing, because demographic change is not a theory, it is really happening. This is an issue which we in society must address together. However, we should emphasise not only the risks, but also the opportunities. As the previous speaker said, fortunately older people are not just remaining healthier for longer, they are also better educated and can stay active later in life. We should see this as an opportunity for society and make the most of it. A European Year of this kind can help to put this issue at the heart of the social debate."@en1
