lpv:translated text	"Madam President, discrimination among older women is one of the major social problems we are facing, and it is one of the fundamental causes of poverty and social exclusion. These women have often been victims of low wages, of unemployment, and of part-time and precarious work, which is reflected in very low pensions, putting them in a position of great social vulnerability and at risk of poverty. In a period of worsening unemployment, such as now, there should be a particular focus on the situation of women approaching retirement age. Firstly, the retirement age should not be raised, to ensure women are not discriminated against on the basis of parenthood and age. Secondly, women’s work should be promoted, equal pay should be enforced and the procedure for calculating pensions and benefits should be revised to ensure that ageing is a dignified process that is free from humiliation, discrimination or any form of violence towards older women. That also requires quality public services at affordable prices, particularly in the areas of health, social protection and decent housing. We believe that the Commission should take account of these proposals as well as of some of those mentioned in the report."@en1
