lpv:translated text	". Ageing populations and ever-lower levels of employment among older people are threatening the sustainability of pension schemes. We are faced with an urgent need to reform social protection systems. The Member States must cooperate on pensions by applying the open method of coordination, so that differences of interpretation arising from bilateral agreements can be reduced. Studies carried out on developments in pension schemes show that the balance between economic and social concerns is the key to success, since macroeconomic, social and employment policies are connected. The European Employment Strategy and the European Social Fund have important contributions to make in promoting the continued employment and hiring of older workers. The Member States should adopt measures to discourage early retirement and – together with companies, workers and social partners – encourage active ageing. Lastly, the Member States must eliminate from their pension systems any forms of discrimination on the grounds of gender and any shortfalls in women’s pensions, which are still lower then men’s. For these reasons, I voted in favour of this report."@en1
