lpv:translated text	"I offer my congratulations for the work carried out by the rapporteur, for which I voted in favour. Demographic change, now established in the European Union, and its handling are among the most pressing tasks in the immediate future. The population of Europe continues to age and demographic growth is the lowest in the world. In the majority of Member States the birth rate is below the replacement level, equal to 2.1 children per woman. Regional policy should therefore become an essential instrument in confronting demographic change. Structural Funds should be better adapted to the challenges posed by demographic change, in particular, by also making use of demographic indicators when allocating funds. Moreover, in response to these challenges, it is necessary to focus efforts on increasing the employment rate for women and fighting youth unemployment. Finally, it is necessary to ascertain adequately the demographic trend from a statistical point of view, thereby improving coordination between relevant services at every level, including through exchange of good practices. Handled effectively, demographic change could present opportunities for Europe itself, and no longer be considered a threat."@en1
