lpv:spoken text	"I thank the President-in-Office of the Council for his reply. I was alerted to this issue of age discrimination in the Council at our previous part-session when I was asked what I thought. My immediate reaction was that, while on the one hand we are trying to encourage fairer treatment of older workers, yet, on the other hand, in one of our own EU institutions – and from what the minister said in more than one – we are discriminating against those aged 45 and over. It is a sad state of affairs when those aged 45 are not considered for employment. What talent, knowledge and experience is lost because of this! I should like to ask the President-in-Office of the Council what measures are being taken to treat all job applications equally? It was interesting to hear about the inter-institutional recruitment office. What is the time-scale for its creation and what common rules will all institutions have? I just wish to clarify something you said. The base age has been raised by six years. Does that mean it has been raised to 51 or has 39 been raised to 45?"@en1
