"− Europeans today are living longer and, thankfully, healthier lives than ever before. However, population ageing is also one of the European Union’s greatest challenges. Soon we will experience a steep increase in the proportion of older people and a large decline in the proportion of people aged below 50, which will increase pressure on public budgets and pension and health systems, as well as on the social and care provision for older people. We support the Commission’s decision to make 2012 the European Year for Active Ageing: this should encourage the efforts of Member States, their local and regional authorities, social partners and civil society to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of the population currently in their 50s and above. The European Year should therefore serve as a useful 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. Lastly, we believe that intergenerational solidarity and cooperation must be increased in order to promote active ageing and that the objectives to be achieved must be vitality, dignity and solidarity between the various age groups."@en1
