lpv:translated text	". The problem of our increasingly ageing population is hitting us hard and the crisis is prompting Member States to make cuts. However, we should not allow the ageing population problem to lure us into a new European debt crisis. The Member States that are making savings should not go about it unthinkingly. The resolution emphasises that the first pillar of the pension system is the main one. This implies a healthy and balanced national budget. Moreover, it goes without saying that a steady income is a safeguard against poverty. I am also pleased with the recognition of pension rights for women and a greater emphasis on gender equality, along with the recognition that discrimination against older people in the labour market should not be allowed. The resolution also pays due attention to the transferability of accrued pension entitlements. No one these days works for the same company, or even in their own country, for their whole life. It is fundamental, in a united Europe, that citizens are able to transfer such entitlements. The European Parliament is therefore asking the European Commission to better coordinate the transferability of pensions at a European level."@en1
