".
I do not share the view that nothing is happening. I think that enormous progress has been made on this issue. Firstly, with regard to statistics, I am sure you are aware that two reports have been published, one by the Committee on Employment and another by the Committee on Economic Policy, which undertake a study of forecasts for the growth of long-term expenditure in the Union as a consequence of the ageing of the population, taking into account not only spending on pensions, but
also
spending on health
Precisely on this issue, and taking account of these factors, within our obligations under the Stability Pact for long-term sustainability in public finances, Ecofin and the European Council agreed that revisions of the stability programmes should contain specific references to future obligations with regard to the problems of the ageing of the population in our countries. And this must be done regardless of the debates that are taking place between those responsible for the pension systems in the various countries, within the Open Method of Coordination that was initiated in Lisbon."@en1
