lpv:translated text	". Mr President, in reply to the first question, it is true that certain countries had age limits in the past. May I remind you that we adopted an anti-discrimination directive two years ago, which all the Member States must adopt by July 2003, banning discrimination on the basis of age. So this will be the European framework from July 2003 onwards. As for the second question concerning the European Parliament, as I said in my speech, we need to find a clearer role for the European Parliament within the open coordination method and we have again discussed how we might strengthen Parliament’s role in the open coordination method within the framework of the Convention with the relevant committee. As far as the report’s orientation is concerned, I made it quite clear that pension reform policies are national policies. Of course there are European dimensions to these national policies and a country cannot exercise a pension reform policy without taking account of the stability pact, the laws of the internal market or the employment strategy. So this is national policy."@en1
