lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I shall be very brief. I wish to begin by addressing sincere thanks to the Commissioners. I want to ask two questions arising out of what has been said in Parliament during the debate. The first question concerns the demographic challenge, which will be one of the most important issues, and perhaps the most important of all, for the future of the EU. What initiatives are the Commissioners prepared to take to create a more family- and child-friendly policy, enabling family life and childcare to be combined with working life? My second question concerns what Commissioner Diamantopoulou mentioned regarding older workers. In the United States, it is unconstitutional to force older people to retire. Should the issue of the compulsory retirement of older people be looked into in the European Union too, and ought older people to be given the option of continuing in work voluntarily for longer than they are at present? Last of all, I just want to emphasise that it is important for the Stability and Growth Pact to be clear and not to concern itself with politics without there being clear criteria."@en1
