"Following Parliament’s vote of 7 July 2001, the EU will mark the start of the ‘European Year for Active Ageing’ as of January 2012. The objective of this European Year is to encourage and support efforts to promote active ageing, devise future national policies on issues relating to ageing and encourage intergenerational solidarity. As an MEP, member of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs and doctor, I am particularly sensitive to this area of debate, which constitutes a challenge for the European Union. This topic concerns us all, directly or indirectly. The time has now come to discuss it. This initiative aims to stimulate debate and raise public awareness of the importance of active ageing and the role of older people within society. As the EU is confronted with the challenges of an ageing population, Member States are being called to devise new intelligent and sustainable policies. The European Parliament wants to make 2012 a year for setting precise objectives for Member States and thus for preventing our solidarity-based social security systems from collapsing beneath the financial burden of ageing populations. That is why I gave my full support to this year of activities."@en1
