lpv:translated text	". I support Mrs Pietikäinen’s report for a set of reasons. The population of the European Union is ageing. According to the statistics, women live longer than men. Discrimination based on age is prohibited in EU-legislation when it comes to working life. The legislation in place, however, does not directly lead to a situation where age discrimination no longer exists in the workplace. In general, women still face difficulties to ascend in their careers, leading to a situation of strong imbalance where men are overrepresented in upper management functions, especially among older women and men. In addition, women more often face difficulties when seeking re-employment, and the older a woman gets the less added value she usually has in the eyes of an employer. Alongside the protection in the workplace, aged women must, however, be protected in all areas of life as discrimination on the basis of age and sex contravenes fundamental rights. In order to combat the double discrimination older women often face, the aspects set out in the report need to be recognised and action taken."@en1
