"I voted in favour of the report on demographic change and its consequences for the future EU cohesion policy because the impact of demographic change varies considerably between regions, has implications at both infrastructure and services level, and requires a coordinated approach by European, national and regional authorities. The European Union has an ageing population, while its birth rate is falling. A healthy, active population is critical for the development of European society. In order to tackle demographic change, the EU needs to narrow the existing discrepancies in terms of health and improve access to health care services. Member States must be encouraged to use the ERDF and ESF Structural Funds to adapt housing to the needs of the elderly, so as to safeguard the quality of life in an ageing society and support young families. We call for the ESF rules to be made easier to manage and also to allow small organisations to enjoy this source of funding, and to develop and manage innovative social projects. We urge the Commission to create more flexible terms which will promote cross-financing between the ERDF and ESF funds by Member States and local authorities when devising and implementing integrated urban development plans/strategies."@en1
