<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The International Day of Older Persons is an opportunity for the European Union to mark the important and irreplaceable contribution that older people make to society. The fact remains that theEU population is ageing rapidly and experts predict that by 2050 the number of people over the age of 60 will have tripled. It should be borne in mind, however, that the current generation of older people is still very active and plays an irreplaceable role in European society, whether in respect of their life, professional and specialist experience, or in respect of their continued active contribution to the labour market and indeed in some cases to voluntary work. 2012 is to be designated European Year of Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity.  Is the Commission preparing to take measures to improve the living conditions of older citizens of the European Union in the context of support for active and health ageing?"
