"The European population is ageing and it will not be long now until the age group ‘55 years old or older’ will be the largest age group in the EU. Although there are four people of working age for every person over 65 at present, the ratio will be half that by the year 2050.
I voted in favour of this timely report. Although it is the responsibility of the individual Member States to decide pension matters, the EU and the Member States must work together to develop a definite, sustainable and financially viable system. The workforce of today is especially mobile; therefore it is imperative that pensions can be transferred from one Member State to another. The pension systems must be brought up to date so that they are flexible, transparent and accessible. Information must be provided regarding the options available and the various aspects of different pension types.
I support what is in the report about placing more emphasis on financial education and about encouraging awareness of saving for a pension."@en1
