"I voted for this report, because we must strive not for conflict and competition between generations, but equal opportunities and solidarity. However, I did not support the European Parliament rapporteur’s opinion that early retirement should be eliminated. Actually, very often, elderly people are forced to take early retirement because of certain circumstances, not as a matter of choice. Given the consequences of the economic crisis, the opportunity to take early retirement is often the only chance of survival for elderly people who have been made redundant. Therefore, given the fact that national pension systems differ between the Member States, we must take into account the practice in all Member States, and not follow the example of one or just a few countries. The Member States themselves must reach a decision on the implementation of early retirement provisions, taking into account their country’s situation and practice. Once again, I would like to draw attention to the fact that both demographic changes and age discrimination are undermining intergenerational solidarity and economic growth. Such discrimination severely constrains access to the labour market for both older and younger workers."@en1
