lpv:translated text	"In terms of the disputed issues we have heard as regards minimum income, I find it important to emphasise that we have to decide not only about today and tomorrow, but also about the day after tomorrow. Inactivity is much more destructive than many of us would think or know. However, this is what people living with disabilities experience day after day. They do not need single-digit percentage improvements in income levels while they are unemployed. It is activity that must be increased and encouraged at any cost. In addition, gerontology and lifestyle research should be supported. Up-to-date, innovative investments improving everyday life and supporting adaptation and access must be facilitated. Let us not legalise and strengthen dependency, increasing the masses of dependants and citizens in need. This, too, is a self-perpetuating stigma, which is untenable. Resources needed for social provisions are increasingly difficult to obtain from dwindling public sources (taxes). The people whose situation is continuously worsening are those with actual needs, those who are incapacitated and live with severe disabilities: we see more and more examples of widespread abuse, for example, in the area of disability pensions, which bring down the standard of provisions. Coming back to ageing: the dependency rate is continuously increasing, which means that the value of existing social provisions will also decrease, due to a lack of sufficient numbers of active citizens to ensure adequate levels of social benefits and minimum income. The number of active European citizens will drop by millions even in the next decade. This forecasts a deterioration in the lives of those actually in need, which should not be tolerated."@en1
