lpv:translated text	"Increasing life expectancy is not just a good result; it is also an opportunity. Although we can indeed be proud that life expectancy is on the rise in Europe, it is also a challenge. It is a challenge partly because we do not know how we can ensure the opportunity for active ageing in an ageing society. It is also unknown to what extent we can ensure the opportunity for active participation in society and non-discriminatory treatment for the elderly. We are aware that there is a lot to do in this area. Can we achieve an increase in the number of healthy years? To what extent can we provide income security for the elderly or lifelong learning? Maybe that certain European Year which will be called the European Year for Active Ageing will help draw more attention to this issue. However, it is inevitable that there will be a period when elderly people will be in need of social and health services and will have less power to represent themselves, thus increasing our responsibility to ensure that they have access to quality services. It is particularly important that appropriate services are available for low income, poor elderly people and for elderly people requiring permanent nursing and care, regardless of whether they need home nursing or are looked after in institutions. There are also a few specific tasks with which we are requesting the Commission’s assistance. First, we need some vital data on what the needs are and on those who require care. Special attention should be paid to the most vulnerable, we need monitoring mechanisms, and the compilation of best practices is also part of the minimum standards."@en1
