"I congratulate Ms Bauer on her work and declare that I voted in favour of her report on the situation of women approaching retirement age. There is a high percentage of elderly women in Europe, partly due to the fact that they have a greater life expectancy than men. This is precisely why it would be a good idea to reform the pension system in a way that also takes account of women having to balance family life and their career.
I also support the Commission’s proposal to declare 2012 the European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between the Generations. As a result of this, I hope that Member States will provide free access to prevention of gender-related diseases and create job opportunities and voluntary positions to make the most of women’s potential and their experience in the workplace, while also taking measures designed to give people the chance to grow old with dignity and without facing the risks of poverty, isolation and social exclusion."@en1
