"Madam President, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, who has made an excellent job of tackling the many hundreds of amendments submitted. Although the report is not legislative, it is of great importance for the future of the social systems in EU Member States. The main conclusions which we support are that: decisions on pension systems are political decisions and are fully and exclusively the responsibility of the individual Member States; it is essential to raise the retirement age; the only source of growth in the EU in the coming years will be growth in the productivity of labour; it is a key task to support the employment of older workers, particularly through greater flexibility in employment law relationships and the correct adjustment of pension systems; it is not appropriate to coordinate pension systems and their reform at EU level; we do not support a standardisation of the retirement age across the EU, nor do we support linking it to average life expectancy; we do not support any efforts to unify definitions, for example, the definition of an adequate pension, at Community level."@en1
