Communication from the Commission

This Communication presents the latest long-term economic and budgetary
projections and a first take on the Commission's views on Europe's ability
to tackle the challenge of ageing in view of new data and the current
economic developments.

Recent analysis confirms that there is a window of opportunity ­ a period
of about ten years during which labour forces will continue to increase ­
for implementing the structural reforms needed by ageing societies. Taking
no action would weaken the EU's ability to meet the future needs of an
ageing population. [extract]
