"I welcome this resolution because demographic change is currently taking place in the EU on an unprecedented scale and is posing certain dangers, particularly to cohesion policy. Consequently, I believe that structural policy reforms must be actively implemented at EU level. Above all, the EU Structural Funds must be allocated with due regard to the development level of each region and other demographic indicators. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) must provide increased funding for urban and infrastructure development. It should be noted that the Commission has a special role to play in this area because it must ensure the effective and coordinated management of the consequences of demographic change. Moreover, given the ever increasing problem of the ageing of society, we need to reinforce pension systems, promote solidarity between the generations, and ensure high-quality care and nursing in residential care homes."@en1
