"It was with great satisfaction that I took note of the result of today’s vote on Mrs Oomen-Ruijten’s report on the subject of adequate, stable and secure pension systems in Europe. I believe that pensions should be secure and stable, especially nowadays in the context of an ageing European population and the financial crisis. Current statistics provide a clear signal that the problem is getting worse and that demographic changes in Europe are unequivocal. Experts have shown that at present in the EU four people are working to support one pensioner, but in about 50 years’ time there will only be two.
It is clear therefore that further work on the pension system is needed and further reforms are essential. This is why we must strive for increased international activity by the Member States to ensure that the coordination of pension systems will be effective and efficient. In addition, in accepting the report, the European Parliament is stating clearly that there can be no room for discrimination on the grounds of age or gender, which is particularly significant in the context of the social debate on equality of men and women in the workplace."@en1
