PURPOSE: to\n establish the European Year for Active Ageing (2012).
PROPOSED ACT:\n Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council.
BACKGROUND:\n the European Union is in a process of significant population ageing.\n According to Eurostat's latest projections released in 2008, there would be\n only two people of working age (15-64) for every person aged over 65 in the\n EU by 2060 compared to a ratio of four to one today. The strongest push in\n this direction is expected to occur during the period 2015-35 when the baby\n boom cohorts will be in retirement. This shift is due to a combination of low\n birth rates and rising life expectancy. These demographic changes present\n both challenges and opportunities. Population ageing may increase pressure on\n public budgets and pension systems, as well as on the staffing of social and\n care services for older people. There is a fear that the older generations\n might become too heavy a burden on younger, working-age people and that this\n could result in tensions between generations. This view neglects, however,\n the significant actual and potential contribution that older people — and the\n baby-boom cohorts in particular — can make to society. A key opportunity for\n tackling the challenge of demographic ageing and preserving intergenerational\n solidarity consists therefore in ensuring that the baby-boom cohorts stay longer\n in the labour market and remain healthy, active and autonomous as long as\n possible.
In the\n framework of the Employment Strategy, Member States have started to reverse\n the trend to early retirement so that the EU-27 employment rate for people\n aged 55-64 has increased from 36.9% in 2000 to 46% in 2009. Encouraging older\n workers to stay in employment requires notably the improvement of working\n conditions and their adaptation to the health status and needs of older\n workers, updating their skills by providing better access to life long\n learning and the review of tax and benefit systems to ensure that there are\n effective incentives for working longer.
Active ageing\n is also an effective tool for tackling poverty in old age. In 2008, 19% of\n people aged 65+ in the EU were at risk of poverty. A considerable number of\n older people experience old age as a time of marginalisation. While better\n employment opportunities for older people could help tackle some of the\n causes of poverty among this age group, active participation in voluntary\n activities could reduce the isolation of older people. The huge potential\n that older persons represent for society as volunteers or carers could be\n better mobilised by eliminating existing obstacles to unpaid work and by\n providing the right framework.
IMPACT\n ASSESSMENT: current activities at EU level do not seem properly geared to\n dealing with what needs to be done:
The Commission\n considers that broad-based support will be required at all levels of society\n and from a wide range of stakeholders. The key challenge is to mobilise\n stakeholders in a way that will generate significant action at national,\n regional, local and company levels across the EU. With greater political\n momentum and visibility for active ageing policies, policy makers can be\n encouraged to take more ambitious initiatives. It is for this reason that\n implementation of the European Year for Active Ageing could be useful.
LEGAL BASE:\n Article 153(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU.
CONTENT: the\n year 2012 shall be designated as the European Year for Active Ageing.
Objectives: the overall purpose of the European Year shall be to encourage\n and support the efforts of Member States, their regional and local\n authorities, social partners and civil society to promote active ageing and\n to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly growing population in\n their late 50s and above, thereby preserving solidarity between generations.\n Active ageing means creating better opportunities and working conditions to\n enable older workers to play their part in the labour market, combating\n social exclusion by fostering active participation in society, and\n encouraging healthy ageing. On this
basis, the\n objectives shall be:
Activities:the measures to be taken to achieve the objectives the\n following activities at Union, national, regional or local level:
The Year\n should be seen as the highlight of a major effort spanning the period\n 2011-2014, during which the EU would focus many of its programmes and\n policies on the issue of active ageing and put in place a framework in which\n new initiatives and partnerships supporting active ageing at all levels (Member\n State, regional, local, social partners, civil society) can be encouraged and\n publicised.
In 2011,\n public authorities, social partners and civil society organisations at all\n levels would be encouraged to commit themselves to specific goals related to\n active ageing; the focus would be on achievements during the European Year.\n The goals would be documented on a European website which would then become\n the website for the European Year and would also serve as a tool for\n monitoring and evaluation.
In 2012, the\n focus of the European Year would be on starting to implement the commitments\n made during 2011, on raising awareness among the general public, publicising\n these initiatives through media activities and the involvement of other\n multipliers. Results of active ageing projects funded under existing budget\n lines and programmes would be presented.
The primary\n intention is to promote active ageing in employment by creating better\n opportunities for the participation of older workers, and to promote active\n ageing in society, by combating social exclusion through voluntary work,\n healthy ageing and autonomous living.
Coordination\n at Union level: the Commission shall convene\n meetings of the national coordinators for the purpose of coordination at\n Union level and to exchange information, including on commitments made and\n their implementation in the Member States. The European Parliament, the\n Member States, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee\n of the Regions will be associated in the activities.
Evaluation: by 30 June 2014, the Commission shall submit a report to the\n European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee\n and the European Committee of the Regions on the implementation, results and\n overall assessment of the initiatives provided for in this Decision.
FINANCIAL\n IMPLICATIONS: no additional funding is sought for the European Year. The\n flexibility for annual or multiannual priority-setting based on the budget\n lines and programmes of the Directorate General for Employment and other\n relevant programmes provides sufficient financial margin for running the Year\n on a scale similar to previous European Years. The administrative resources\n can also come from existing administrative budgets.
\nMinisters\n adopted a general approach on a draft decision designating 2012 as the\n European Year of active ageing (see Council Doc. 16511/10), pending the adoption of\n the European Parliament's opinion at first reading.
The draft\n decision is aimed to strengthen intergenerational solidarity by increasing\n awareness of the contribution of older people to society and by spreading\n innovative measures which could help to mobilise the full potential of the\n growing population in their late 50s and above. It seeks to stimulate debate\n and develop mutual learning between member states in order to promote active ageing\n policies, and it offers a framework for commitment and concrete action to\n enable Member States and stakeholders to develop policies through specific\n activities.
\nThe Committee on Employment and Social\n Affairs unanimously adopted the report by Martin KASTLER (EPP, DE) on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the\n European Year for Active Ageing (2012). The committee recommends that the\n European Parliament’s position in first reading following the ordinary\n legislative procedure make certain the following amendments to the Commission\n proposal
Title of the Year: Members want the initiative to stress intergenerational\n solidarity and accordingly, they have re-named the Year 'European Year for\n Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations', with the subheading\n 'Maintaining the vitality and respecting the dignity of all’.
Objectives: the overall purpose of the European Year is to facilitate the\n creation of a sustainable active ageing culture in Europe based on\n a society for all ages and on solidarity between generations. In this\n framework, the European Year shall encourage and support the efforts of\n Member States, their regional and local authorities, social\n partners, businesses and civil society, including religious\n organisations and associations active in combating poverty and social\n exclusion, to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the\n potential of the rapidly growing population in their late 50s and above,\n thereby maintaining the vitality of older people, enhancing their\n social participation, promoting the positive perception of\n older people in the society, creating a barrier-free society for all ages and\n fostering solidarity and cooperation between generations. In\n order to do so, it is essential for the European Year to support\n and make the most of initiatives that take account of the specific needs\n of older people, including those at local and regional level.
Members state that active ageing means\n creating better education, training and lifelong learning possibilities\n and better opportunities and age-friendly working conditions to\n enable older workers to play their part in the labour market, supporting\n the role of older people in family life and voluntary activities and their\n active participation in society, combating age discrimination and\n prejudice and eliminating negative stereotypes, fighting poverty\n and social exclusion, encouraging healthy ageing with dignity\n and facilitating it through preventive measures and access to quality health\n and social services..
Specific objectives: Members insert some new specific objectives for the Year which\n may be summarised as follows :
Amongst the concrete actions proposed by\n the committee, Members stress: i) information and also mentoring and\n training campaigns which are adapted to national, regional or\n local circumstances ii) exchange of experience and good practices, \n including through the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), networks of\n contacts set up by stakeholders working to achieve the goals of the European\n Year and between local representatives iii) research and surveys focusing\n on the economic and social impact of promoting active ageing and of\n active-ageing-friendly policies.
When implementing these activities\n Members state that attention should be paid, on a horizontal basis,\n to preventative health-care oriented towards healthy ageing and to\n involving all generations in the pursuit of the objectives of the\n European Year, in particular by encouraging the participation of ageing and\n young people in common initiatives. The Commission and Member States shall be encouraged to provide greater opportunities for those who volunteer to support\n elderly people and who engage in fund raising programmes.\n Furthermore, they shall take account of the need to integrate the\n specificities of the situation of women and men and the need for all\n generations to be involved. Special attention shall be paid to the\n inclusion of persons with disabilities, as well as to combating all forms of\n discrimination to which older persons may be subject.
Decentralised approach: the initiatives taken in the light of the European Year for\n Active Ageing will have a decentralised approach and ensure multi-level ownership.\n
Implementation: the Commission will implement the Year at European level. Each Member State shall appoint a national coordinator responsible for organising its\n involvement in the European Year and shall inform the Commission of that\n appointment. By 30 September 2011, each Member State shall inform the\n Commission of its work programme, which shall include details of the national\n activities planned under the European Year. The national coordinators\n should work independently, without reflecting solely the views of\n governments and should also see to it that national activities\n are and are properly coordinated and that stakeholders, including\n social partners and civil society organisations are fully involved in the\n design and implementation of the European Year at local, regional and\n national level. In order to ensure the participation of a diverse range of\n organisations, simplified procedures should be available for smaller scale\n events and operations.
Budget:\n Members specify that the financial envelope for the implementation, at\n Union level, of this decision, is, for the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2012, at least EUR 6 000 000, of which EUR\n 2 000 000 shall be reserved for use within the\n period to 31 December 2011.
Financial and non-financial support: activities at the Union level may give rise to a procurement\n contract or the award of grants financed from the general budget of the EU.\n Where appropriate, programmes and policies in fields which contribute to\n promoting active ageing, such as employment, social affairs and equal\n opportunities, education and culture, health, research, the information\n society, regional policy and transport policy, may support the European Year\n in accordance with the rules applying and within the existing margins for priority\n setting. Non-financial support may be granted by the Union for\n initiatives undertaken by public and private organisations. .
Participating countries : Participation in the European Year shall also be open to\n EFTA States that are parties to the EEA Agreement, and to candidate\n countries,
International cooperation: the Commission may cooperate with the relevant bodies of other\n international organisations, in particular with the United Nations and the\n Council of Europe, in order to increase the Union’s effectiveness\n and to ensure the visibility of its efforts.
Report:\n the Commission’s report shall also provide information on how the gender and\n disability have been mainstreamed in the activities of the European Year and\n how the European Year has contributed towards developing a sustainable active\n aging culture across Europe.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 557\n votes to 33, with 15 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal\n for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European\n Year for Active Ageing (2012).
Parliament adopted its position at first\n reading following the ordinary legislative procedure. The amendments adopted\n in plenary are the result of a new series of compromise amendments negotiated\n between the European Parliament and the Council. They amend the proposal as\n follows:
Title of the Year: the title of this initiative has been changed. It shall now be\n known as the ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between\n Generations’.
General objectives: the overall objective of the European Year shall be to facilitate\n the creation of an active ageing culture in Europe based on a society for all\n ages. It shall encourage and support the efforts of Member States, their\n regional and local authorities, social partners, civil society and the business\n community, including SMEs, to promote active ageing and to foster\n solidarity and cooperation between generations, taking into account diversity\n and gender equality. To this end, the European Year shall aim to adapt\n working conditions, combat negative age stereotypes and age discrimination,\n improve health and safety at work, adapt life-long learning systems to the\n needs of an ageing workforce and ensure that social protection systems are\n adequate and provide the right incentives.
Specific objectives: new specific objectives are defined as follows:
The content of measures have been amended\n in accordance with the specific objectives. It is stated that when\n implementing the activities, attention shall be paid to involving all\n generations in the pursuit of the objectives of the European Year, in\n particular by seeking to develop an inclusive approach and by encouraging the\n participation of older and younger people in common initiatives. The\n Commission and Member States shall take into account gender mainstreaming in\n all their activities in connection with the running of the European Year. The\n Commission shall take into account the potential of cross-border activities\n taking place at a regional or local level for achieving the objectives.\n Lastly, efforts shall be made to ensure that all activities of the European\n Year addressed to the wider public are easily accessible to all, including people\n with disabilities.
Coordination with Member States: under the proposal, each Member State shall appoint a national\n coordinator to be responsible for organising its involvement in the European\n Year and shall inform the Commission of that appointment. The national\n coordinators shall also see to it that national activities of the European\n Year are properly coordinated and may also promote and facilitate local and\n regional activities in this context. The national coordinators shall also\n foster the involvement of all relevant stakeholders, including civil society,\n in the activities of the European Year.
The Commission shall implement the\n European Year at the level of the Union. It shall facilitate and support\n the activities of the European Year at national, regional and local level,\n including by proposing, where appropriate, new pathways and tools for the\n achievement of the objectives of the European Year and their evaluation.
Priority given to the Year by the\n Commission: the theme of the European Year shall\n be made a priority by the Commission in the communication activities of its\n representations in the Member States and by relevant key Union-level networks\n receiving support for their running costs from the general budget of the\n Union in their work programmes.
Budget: \n the financial envelope for the implementation, at the level of the Union, of\n this Decision, for the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2012, shall\n be EUR 5 million.

\nPURPOSE : to\n designate 2012 as the ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between\n Generations’.
LEGISLATIVE\n ACT : Decision No 940/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council\n on the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations\n (2012).
BACKGROUND :\n ageing is undoubtedly a challenge for the whole of society and for all\n generations in Europe, and it is also a matter for intergenerational\n solidarity and for the family.
The part of\n the population of the Union comprised of people in their late 50s and over\n will increase at a much faster rate than ever before. Successive European\n Councils have recognised the need to tackle the effect of ageing populations\n on European social models. A key response to this rapid change in the age structure\n consists in promoting the creation of a culture of active ageing as a\n lifelong process and thus ensuring that the rapidly-growing population\n comprised of people who are currently in their late 50s and over, who are, on\n the whole, healthier and better educated than any such age group before them,\n have good opportunities for employment and active participation in social and\n family life, including through volunteering, lifelong learning, cultural\n expression and sports.
The Council\n adopted, on 7 June 2010, Conclusions on ‘Active Ageing’ inviting the\n Commission ‘to pursue the reparation of a European Year for Active Ageing in\n 2012, during which the benefits of active ageing and its contribution to\n solidarity between generations can be highlighted and promising initiatives\n in support of active ageing at all levels can be publicised’.
The European\n Parliament adopted, on 11 November 2010, a Resolution\n entitled ‘Demographic challenge and solidarity between generations’, calling\n on Member States to make active ageing one of the priorities for the coming\n years. The resolution also stressed that the European Year should, in\n particular, highlight the contribution that older people make to society and\n afford opportunities to foster solidarity, cooperation and understanding\n between generations and to get younger and older people to work together.
The\n designation of a ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between\n Generations (2012) fulfills this request.
CONTENT :\n through this Decision, the European Parliament and Council establish a\n ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012)
Objectives: the overall objective of the European Year shall be to facilitate\n the creation of an active ageing culture in Europe based on a society for all\n ages. The European Year shall encourage and support the efforts of Member\n States, their regional and local authorities, social partners, civil society\n and the business community, including small and medium-sized enterprises, to\n promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly\n growing population in their late 50s and over.

\nPURPOSE: to\n establish the European Year for Active Ageing (2012).
PROPOSED ACT:\n Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council.
BACKGROUND:\n the European Union is in a process of significant population ageing.\n According to Eurostat's latest projections released in 2008, there would be\n only two people of working age (15-64) for every person aged over 65 in the\n EU by 2060 compared to a ratio of four to one today. The strongest push in\n this direction is expected to occur during the period 2015-35 when the baby\n boom cohorts will be in retirement. This shift is due to a combination of low\n birth rates and rising life expectancy. These demographic changes present\n both challenges and opportunities. Population ageing may increase pressure on\n public budgets and pension systems, as well as on the staffing of social and\n care services for older people. There is a fear that the older generations\n might become too heavy a burden on younger, working-age people and that this\n could result in tensions between generations. This view neglects, however,\n the significant actual and potential contribution that older people — and the\n baby-boom cohorts in particular — can make to society. A key opportunity for\n tackling the challenge of demographic ageing and preserving intergenerational\n solidarity consists therefore in ensuring that the baby-boom cohorts stay longer\n in the labour market and remain healthy, active and autonomous as long as\n possible.
In the\n framework of the Employment Strategy, Member States have started to reverse\n the trend to early retirement so that the EU-27 employment rate for people\n aged 55-64 has increased from 36.9% in 2000 to 46% in 2009. Encouraging older\n workers to stay in employment requires notably the improvement of working\n conditions and their adaptation to the health status and needs of older\n workers, updating their skills by providing better access to life long\n learning and the review of tax and benefit systems to ensure that there are\n effective incentives for working longer.
Active ageing\n is also an effective tool for tackling poverty in old age. In 2008, 19% of\n people aged 65+ in the EU were at risk of poverty. A considerable number of\n older people experience old age as a time of marginalisation. While better\n employment opportunities for older people could help tackle some of the\n causes of poverty among this age group, active participation in voluntary\n activities could reduce the isolation of older people. The huge potential\n that older persons represent for society as volunteers or carers could be\n better mobilised by eliminating existing obstacles to unpaid work and by\n providing the right framework.
IMPACT\n ASSESSMENT: current activities at EU level do not seem properly geared to\n dealing with what needs to be done:
The Commission\n considers that broad-based support will be required at all levels of society\n and from a wide range of stakeholders. The key challenge is to mobilise\n stakeholders in a way that will generate significant action at national,\n regional, local and company levels across the EU. With greater political\n momentum and visibility for active ageing policies, policy makers can be\n encouraged to take more ambitious initiatives. It is for this reason that\n implementation of the European Year for Active Ageing could be useful.
LEGAL BASE:\n Article 153(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU.
CONTENT: the\n year 2012 shall be designated as the European Year for Active Ageing.
Objectives: the overall purpose of the European Year shall be to encourage\n and support the efforts of Member States, their regional and local\n authorities, social partners and civil society to promote active ageing and\n to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly growing population in\n their late 50s and above, thereby preserving solidarity between generations.\n Active ageing means creating better opportunities and working conditions to\n enable older workers to play their part in the labour market, combating\n social exclusion by fostering active participation in society, and\n encouraging healthy ageing. On this
basis, the\n objectives shall be:
Activities:the measures to be taken to achieve the objectives the\n following activities at Union, national, regional or local level:
The Year\n should be seen as the highlight of a major effort spanning the period\n 2011-2014, during which the EU would focus many of its programmes and\n policies on the issue of active ageing and put in place a framework in which\n new initiatives and partnerships supporting active ageing at all levels (Member\n State, regional, local, social partners, civil society) can be encouraged and\n publicised.
In 2011,\n public authorities, social partners and civil society organisations at all\n levels would be encouraged to commit themselves to specific goals related to\n active ageing; the focus would be on achievements during the European Year.\n The goals would be documented on a European website which would then become\n the website for the European Year and would also serve as a tool for\n monitoring and evaluation.
In 2012, the\n focus of the European Year would be on starting to implement the commitments\n made during 2011, on raising awareness among the general public, publicising\n these initiatives through media activities and the involvement of other\n multipliers. Results of active ageing projects funded under existing budget\n lines and programmes would be presented.
The primary\n intention is to promote active ageing in employment by creating better\n opportunities for the participation of older workers, and to promote active\n ageing in society, by combating social exclusion through voluntary work,\n healthy ageing and autonomous living.
Coordination\n at Union level: the Commission shall convene\n meetings of the national coordinators for the purpose of coordination at\n Union level and to exchange information, including on commitments made and\n their implementation in the Member States. The European Parliament, the\n Member States, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee\n of the Regions will be associated in the activities.
Evaluation: by 30 June 2014, the Commission shall submit a report to the\n European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee\n and the European Committee of the Regions on the implementation, results and\n overall assessment of the initiatives provided for in this Decision.
FINANCIAL\n IMPLICATIONS: no additional funding is sought for the European Year. The\n flexibility for annual or multiannual priority-setting based on the budget\n lines and programmes of the Directorate General for Employment and other\n relevant programmes provides sufficient financial margin for running the Year\n on a scale similar to previous European Years. The administrative resources\n can also come from existing administrative budgets.
\nMinisters\n adopted a general approach on a draft decision designating 2012 as the\n European Year of active ageing (see Council Doc. 16511/10), pending the adoption of\n the European Parliament's opinion at first reading.
The draft\n decision is aimed to strengthen intergenerational solidarity by increasing\n awareness of the contribution of older people to society and by spreading\n innovative measures which could help to mobilise the full potential of the\n growing population in their late 50s and above. It seeks to stimulate debate\n and develop mutual learning between member states in order to promote active ageing\n policies, and it offers a framework for commitment and concrete action to\n enable Member States and stakeholders to develop policies through specific\n activities.
\nThe Committee on Employment and Social\n Affairs unanimously adopted the report by Martin KASTLER (EPP, DE) on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the\n European Year for Active Ageing (2012). The committee recommends that the\n European Parliament’s position in first reading following the ordinary\n legislative procedure make certain the following amendments to the Commission\n proposal
Title of the Year: Members want the initiative to stress intergenerational\n solidarity and accordingly, they have re-named the Year 'European Year for\n Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations', with the subheading\n 'Maintaining the vitality and respecting the dignity of all’.
Objectives: the overall purpose of the European Year is to facilitate the\n creation of a sustainable active ageing culture in Europe based on\n a society for all ages and on solidarity between generations. In this\n framework, the European Year shall encourage and support the efforts of\n Member States, their regional and local authorities, social\n partners, businesses and civil society, including religious\n organisations and associations active in combating poverty and social\n exclusion, to promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the\n potential of the rapidly growing population in their late 50s and above,\n thereby maintaining the vitality of older people, enhancing their\n social participation, promoting the positive perception of\n older people in the society, creating a barrier-free society for all ages and\n fostering solidarity and cooperation between generations. In\n order to do so, it is essential for the European Year to support\n and make the most of initiatives that take account of the specific needs\n of older people, including those at local and regional level.
Members state that active ageing means\n creating better education, training and lifelong learning possibilities\n and better opportunities and age-friendly working conditions to\n enable older workers to play their part in the labour market, supporting\n the role of older people in family life and voluntary activities and their\n active participation in society, combating age discrimination and\n prejudice and eliminating negative stereotypes, fighting poverty\n and social exclusion, encouraging healthy ageing with dignity\n and facilitating it through preventive measures and access to quality health\n and social services..
Specific objectives: Members insert some new specific objectives for the Year which\n may be summarised as follows :
Amongst the concrete actions proposed by\n the committee, Members stress: i) information and also mentoring and\n training campaigns which are adapted to national, regional or\n local circumstances ii) exchange of experience and good practices, \n including through the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), networks of\n contacts set up by stakeholders working to achieve the goals of the European\n Year and between local representatives iii) research and surveys focusing\n on the economic and social impact of promoting active ageing and of\n active-ageing-friendly policies.
When implementing these activities\n Members state that attention should be paid, on a horizontal basis,\n to preventative health-care oriented towards healthy ageing and to\n involving all generations in the pursuit of the objectives of the\n European Year, in particular by encouraging the participation of ageing and\n young people in common initiatives. The Commission and Member States shall be encouraged to provide greater opportunities for those who volunteer to support\n elderly people and who engage in fund raising programmes.\n Furthermore, they shall take account of the need to integrate the\n specificities of the situation of women and men and the need for all\n generations to be involved. Special attention shall be paid to the\n inclusion of persons with disabilities, as well as to combating all forms of\n discrimination to which older persons may be subject.
Decentralised approach: the initiatives taken in the light of the European Year for\n Active Ageing will have a decentralised approach and ensure multi-level ownership.\n
Implementation: the Commission will implement the Year at European level. Each Member State shall appoint a national coordinator responsible for organising its\n involvement in the European Year and shall inform the Commission of that\n appointment. By 30 September 2011, each Member State shall inform the\n Commission of its work programme, which shall include details of the national\n activities planned under the European Year. The national coordinators\n should work independently, without reflecting solely the views of\n governments and should also see to it that national activities\n are and are properly coordinated and that stakeholders, including\n social partners and civil society organisations are fully involved in the\n design and implementation of the European Year at local, regional and\n national level. In order to ensure the participation of a diverse range of\n organisations, simplified procedures should be available for smaller scale\n events and operations.
Budget:\n Members specify that the financial envelope for the implementation, at\n Union level, of this decision, is, for the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2012, at least EUR 6 000 000, of which EUR\n 2 000 000 shall be reserved for use within the\n period to 31 December 2011.
Financial and non-financial support: activities at the Union level may give rise to a procurement\n contract or the award of grants financed from the general budget of the EU.\n Where appropriate, programmes and policies in fields which contribute to\n promoting active ageing, such as employment, social affairs and equal\n opportunities, education and culture, health, research, the information\n society, regional policy and transport policy, may support the European Year\n in accordance with the rules applying and within the existing margins for priority\n setting. Non-financial support may be granted by the Union for\n initiatives undertaken by public and private organisations. .
Participating countries : Participation in the European Year shall also be open to\n EFTA States that are parties to the EEA Agreement, and to candidate\n countries,
International cooperation: the Commission may cooperate with the relevant bodies of other\n international organisations, in particular with the United Nations and the\n Council of Europe, in order to increase the Union’s effectiveness\n and to ensure the visibility of its efforts.
Report:\n the Commission’s report shall also provide information on how the gender and\n disability have been mainstreamed in the activities of the European Year and\n how the European Year has contributed towards developing a sustainable active\n aging culture across Europe.

\nPURPOSE : to\n designate 2012 as the ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between\n Generations’.
LEGISLATIVE\n ACT : Decision No 940/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council\n on the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations\n (2012).
BACKGROUND :\n ageing is undoubtedly a challenge for the whole of society and for all\n generations in Europe, and it is also a matter for intergenerational\n solidarity and for the family.
The part of\n the population of the Union comprised of people in their late 50s and over\n will increase at a much faster rate than ever before. Successive European\n Councils have recognised the need to tackle the effect of ageing populations\n on European social models. A key response to this rapid change in the age structure\n consists in promoting the creation of a culture of active ageing as a\n lifelong process and thus ensuring that the rapidly-growing population\n comprised of people who are currently in their late 50s and over, who are, on\n the whole, healthier and better educated than any such age group before them,\n have good opportunities for employment and active participation in social and\n family life, including through volunteering, lifelong learning, cultural\n expression and sports.
The Council\n adopted, on 7 June 2010, Conclusions on ‘Active Ageing’ inviting the\n Commission ‘to pursue the reparation of a European Year for Active Ageing in\n 2012, during which the benefits of active ageing and its contribution to\n solidarity between generations can be highlighted and promising initiatives\n in support of active ageing at all levels can be publicised’.
The European\n Parliament adopted, on 11 November 2010, a Resolution\n entitled ‘Demographic challenge and solidarity between generations’, calling\n on Member States to make active ageing one of the priorities for the coming\n years. The resolution also stressed that the European Year should, in\n particular, highlight the contribution that older people make to society and\n afford opportunities to foster solidarity, cooperation and understanding\n between generations and to get younger and older people to work together.
The\n designation of a ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between\n Generations (2012) fulfills this request.
CONTENT :\n through this Decision, the European Parliament and Council establish a\n ‘European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012)
Objectives: the overall objective of the European Year shall be to facilitate\n the creation of an active ageing culture in Europe based on a society for all\n ages. The European Year shall encourage and support the efforts of Member\n States, their regional and local authorities, social partners, civil society\n and the business community, including small and medium-sized enterprises, to\n promote active ageing and to do more to mobilise the potential of the rapidly\n growing population in their late 50s and over.
