On November 5, the newly established CESI Seniors held their constitutive meeting.
The meeting served to formally establish the CESI Seniors as a new platform in CESI dedicated to advocating for the needs and interests of the older generations and share best practices about improved conditions for the older generations in Europe.
Horst Günther Klitzing from the German Civil Service Federation 'dbb' was elected President.
CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: "Although CESI has already had a successful cross-sectional group for younger generations, a similar representation for older people was still lacking. The CESI Seniors will fill this important gap and bring visibility to this group by CESI at the European level. It is also meatn to also encourage older employees and retirees to remain actively engaged insociety and public discourse."
At its constitutive meeting, the CESI Seniors jumstarted their work with policy exchanges with representatives from the European Commission on a new planned EU Action Plan on Intergenerational Fairness, the implementation of the EU Care Strategy, and the EU Pensions Adequacy Report 2024.
The next meeting of the CESI Seniors will take place in 2026.
