lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this report, because we need to take measures to properly gear the working environment to older people, to ensure health care for all older people and to give them the required social support. Unfortunately, a considerable number of older people experience old age as a time of marginalisation. Furthermore, if older people have to remain longer in the labour market, due to an extension of the retirement age for instance, we need to take specific action and provide these people with better employment opportunities, because only then will it be possible to eliminate the cause of poverty for this age group. Unfortunately, there are still frequent concerns that older people may become too great a burden for young people of working age, which may lead to tension between members of different generations. It is therefore essential to overcome this opinion and to remember the great benefits that older people bring today and which they may provide in the future. Moreover, active ageing is an effective tool for tackling poverty in old age. In society and the economy it must become clear that older people are not a burden, but an asset, owing to their experience, the work they have done and knowledge they have gained throughout their life. The European Year 2012 should therefore be a milestone for these developments in Europe, because the growing proportion of older people in Europe makes it more important than ever to promote healthy ageing."@en1
