".
For some years now, employment guidelines have sought to promote active ageing with a view to increasing the average retirement age
particularly the specific guideline 5 of the 2003 guidelines, which were renewed unaltered in 2004. The European Council of Stockholm has, moreover, set the ambitious objective of bringing the employment rate of people aged between 55 years and 64 years up to 50%, whilst the European Council of Barcelona has set an additional ambitious objective, namely the raising by five years, by 2010, of the average retirement age, which is currently 61 years according to Eurostat estimates.
The Council looks upon maintaining older workers in active employment as a major challenge, as is evident from the key messages it has recently adopted for the attention of the Spring European Council. In these messages, it points out that it is appropriate to give priority to this issue in reforms seeking to ensure social adequacy and the viability of future pension plans, according to the circumstances of each individual country. An increase in longevity will indeed require a new delay in the age at which workers exit the labour market, which presupposes the progressive dismantling of incentive measures for early retirement."@en1
