"Europe is facing a serious problem. Its population is getting old and suitable measures are required to deal with this reality. Moreover, the potential offered by elderly people, which is ignored in most cases in Member States, should not be overlooked. The experience and skills they offer can be used to train young people, with the aim of handing over the torch to the younger generations in different areas and at different levels of expertise. Although discrimination on the grounds of age is banned by EU legislation, when it comes to the work environment, situations such as overt or disguised discrimination occur frequently in all Member States, especially against women. Consequently, I support the proposal to run Europe-wide awareness campaigns, with the aim of combating current discrimination on the grounds of age and maintaining solidarity between generations. I believe that it is beneficial to provide European funds in support of projects involving, for instance, socially disadvantaged single and older women. This would provide great support in combating age-related discrimination."@en1
