Question for written answer E-001746/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Idoia Mendia Cueva (S&D)

On 27 January 2021, the Commission adopted a Green Paper on Ageing - Fostering solidarity and responsibility between generations (COM(2021)0050).

Europe's ageing population is one of the major challenges for the EU, but also an opportunity to transform our economy by creating better jobs and improving our long-term care system.

In view of the above:

• 1.Does the Commission take the view that it is time to continue the work initiated in the Green Paper and to move towards a White Paper setting out specific measures to address the challenge of ageing in the EU?
• 2.Does the Commission believe that there is a need to develop an ageing strategy for the European Union, with clear and long-term objectives?
