Summary

This own-initiative report concerns ageing policy after 2020.

They emphasise generational renewal in agriculture and family farming under the CAP, intergenerational dialogue and active ageing.

Plenary votes

24 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
