".
In November 2009 Romania had 5.54 million pensioners and 5.65 million contributors to the public pension system. Providing EU citizens with an adequate, sustainable pension, now and in the future, is a priority for the European Union. Achieving these objectives in an ageing Europe is a major challenge and Member States must prepare for this by reforming their pension systems. Member States must improve the adequacy of pensions by combating gender discrimination on the labour market, especially through a 10% reduction in the pay gap by 2020. The public pension system must be strengthened to the detriment of the private system. We must not privatise the public pension system simply to ensure the stability of pension funds for current and future pensioners.
Although the trend at European level is to raise the retirement age, it should be applied flexibly according to the sector and the severity of the working conditions, while also taking into account the number of years’ service. Active support is required for job creation. The quality of work also needs to be improved in order to increase the number of people who will actively contribute to funding their future pensions."@en1
