Demografický vývoj v EU - poslanci diskutovali 28. května s odborníky
Remedies for an ageing Europe's discussed by MEPs
Poslanci diskutují o populačním deficitu v Evropě Ve středu 28. května jednal výbor pro zaměstnanost a sociální věci opět o demografickém deficitu v Evropské unii.
Above average: 1.5 children per couple is the European norm The state of Europe's population was at issue again on Wednesday 28 May when MEPs from the Employment Committee met with experts to discuss the situation.
Jedno ze zajímavých - a relativně nových - témat byl případný vstup Turecka do EU a dopad tohoto kroku na vývoj obyvatelstva.
The role of immigration, the need for generations to work together and health issues were among the topics discussed.
Poznatky z turecké debaty oživily již "tradiční" témata jako stárnoucí populace, přistěhovalectví a výdaje na zdravotnictví.
The possible impact of Turkey's future membership of the EU - with its large and growing population - was also debated.
Členové výboru pozvali do Parlamentu nového ředitele francouzského Národního institutu pro demografické studie (INED), Françoise Hérana z Paříže.
MEPs heard from leading demographic expert François Héran who presented a study from the Paris based "Institut national d'études démographiques".
Kromě nového elánu sebou přivezl Héran i novou studii, ve které dokládá, že země podporující rodinnou politiku a soulad pracovního a rodinného života, vykazují znatelně vyšší porodnost.
He said that "several research studies show that the Member States which currently have the highest fertility rates are those which have been able to develop policies concerning child support and reconciling family and professional life".
Ani k otázce přistěhovalectví se Héran nestaví odmítavě.
Immigration can renew population - report
François Héron například upozorňuje na skutečnost, že v jihoevropských zemích je největším problémem pro mladé páry najít bydlení.
Mr Héran said that "there is nothing to do but adapt to the ageing process; which is not possible to eliminate because it has to do with longer living."
Otázka tureckého členství v EU
Effect of Turkey's EU membership discussed
Předseda výboru pro zaměstnanost a sociální věci, švédský sociální demokrat Jan Andersson, se zajímal především o otázku, jaký dopad na demografii by mělo případné členství Turecka v EU.
The head of the Employment Committee, Swedish Socialist Jan Andersson noted that today's trend in the labour market is that "we start working later and retire earlier".
Turecko má 70 milionů obyvatel a tak by se stalo druhou největší zemí EU podle počtu obyvatel.
He wondered how a hypothetical enlargement of the EU to include Turkey could affect the demographic picture in the EU.
Měla sice velký přírůst obyvatel, ten se ale každoročně snižoval.
Health related issues were one of the main concerns raised by the speakers.
Podobně hodnotí případné členství Turecka, i když přiznává, že tak velká země samozřejmě citelně zanechá stopu na demografickém vývoji EU.
French Socialist Françoise Castex - author of a report on Europe's demographic future - asked about the costs linked to an older population, and hoped Europeans will live longer and in better health.
Stárnoucí obyvatelstvo
Need to encourage people to have more children
Jedno z klasických témat je stárnoucí obyvatelstvo a s tím související tlak na daňovou zátěž důchodového pojištění.
Polish UEN member Jan-Tadeusz Masiel wanted to know what could be done to encourage couples to have more children, as in his opinion, "immigration is not the solution, as immigrants prefer to keep their identity rather than integrate in a different culture".
Héran na toto téma uvádí, že se s delším věkem také zlepšuje zdravotní stav Evropanů a snižuje se riziko invalidity.
Mr Héran replied that "even if the problem is demographic, the solution is not: it will include economic, employment and family policies".
Z celkového pohledu se ale musí Evropa připravit na výrazně stoupající náklady na důchodové zajištění svých občanů.
For example "in the southern countries, it is very difficult for young people to become independent; if young couples had an easier access to housing, they would start having children earlier".

The question of visa waivers for Europeans travelling to the USA was the subject of a debate on Wednesday (23 April) between MEPs, the Council and Commission.
Parlament zdůrazňuje, že čínské investice v afrických státech s despotickými režimy přispívají k dalšímu porušování lidských práv a upozorňuje také na úlohu Pekingu v souvislosti s obchodováním se zbraněmi a s využíváním přírodních zdrojů.
The Council have already adopted a decision authorising the Commission to open negotiations with the US on conditions for participation in the visa waiver programme that come under Community law.
Evropský parlament přijal také usnesení týkající se statutu evropského veřejného ochránce práv .
The decision does not apply to the UK and Ireland as they do not take part in the common visa policy.
Tento text navrhuje určité úpravy ustanovení týkajících se přístupu ombudsmana k informacím orgánů a institucí EU.

The key aim of these changes is to boost citizens' confidence in the Ombudsman's work.
