"In October 2011, the European Commission tabled the legislative package concerning the future of cohesion policy in the period 2014-2020, introducing new measures that I consider extremely important for reducing bureaucracy in cohesion policy and making it more effective. The Directorate-General for Regional Policy’s Fifth Report on Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion says that ‘Demographic change has become increasingly prominent on the policy agenda’, so demonstrating the importance of the issue in question for the future of cohesion policy. I am voting for this report because it tables measures that could prevent the negative consequences of demographic change, lists several solutions for older people, children and families, and increases the role of cities as hubs intending to stimulate greater social integration. Finally, I believe the Structural Funds in the period 2014-2020 should contribute to solving the challenges resulting from demographic change in the European Union, particularly as regards the decline in the youth population and the increase in average life expectancy."@en1
