"− 2012 will be the European Year for Active Ageing. The Commission’s decision stems from the knowledge that the number of older people in the Member States is continually increasing, a phenomenon linked to the low birth rate and the rise in life expectancy, thanks in part to medical and scientific research. The task for Europe is to consider older people not as a burden on society but as an opportunity, by enabling them, for example, to carry out voluntary work at all levels. Under the Treaty, which puts all European citizens on the same footing with the same rights, the European Union must strive to ensure equal dignity and equal access for older people with disabilities. The text has some positive aspects, but the desire to include candidate countries too in the projects led me to abstain, as I fear that European citizens’ money will be spent unnecessarily."@en1
