"The Member States of the European Union will experience massive population ageing in the coming years. This phenomenon will, of course, affect our countries differently, depending on their demographic structure and their attractiveness in terms of migration. Our regions must, therefore, on the basis of their specific characteristics, adopt proactive measures as quickly as possible so as to turn this development into an opportunity. In this sense, I welcome Kerstin Westphal’s report. Making ageing a horizontal objective of cohesion policy, which is what is proposed, will make it possible for projects to be funded that are able to meet the expectations of our regions in terms of services, infrastructure and social policy in a context of demographic change. Better coordinated and targeted European funding programmes, such as the ERDF, the ESF and the EAFRD, may, in fact, be very decisive in helping regional and local authorities guarantee continuing medical coverage, good urban planning, the possibility of intergenerational communication, and an appropriate policy for the integration of migrants. The cohesion policy of the EU can therefore play a key role in ensuring that population ageing becomes an opportunity for everyone throughout Europe."@en1
