"Madam President, when we all speak here in this Chamber about older people, we perhaps forget to factor in that, at some point, we too may be in the same position as older people and may reach the age of 80, 90 or even 100. Have we ever imagined how we would like to be treated then? Today’s older people are the people who brought us into the world, they are the people who gave us civilisation, they are the people who constitute our ‘personal property’. Long-term care for older people does not only have a moral and social dimension; it also has an economic aspect, because the care which each older person needs implies a reduction in the productivity of the working members of their family. If, however, we introduce a care programme at the same time, we would even be able to create jobs. We need to think about all this, Commissioner, and put the Member States on the right track. To close, I should like to thank the interpreters and translators who allow us to express our views even after midnight."@en1
