"Madam President, I welcome this report, especially the practical recommendations in it to deal with the challenge facing us, and we have a lot of challenges facing us.
In this regard, I recall that my colleague, Danuta Hübner, when she was a Commissioner, pointed out that one-third of regions would decline in population by 2020 and a half will have a decline by 2030. This poses huge problems for us, particularly in relation to structural and cohesion policy. Particularly worrying is the impact which an ageing population will have. It will put huge pressure on finances in terms of health care and infrastructure, etc. We have got to meet that challenge, and the sooner we face up to it and put measures in place and utilise cohesion funding for it, the better it will be."@en1
