At the heart of the resolution adopted by the FAFCE Board Meeting in Brussels is the declaration that “there is no future without the family”. Thus, in order to tackle the demographic winter, the resolution recommends that EU institutions and Member States do not count demographic investments for the 3% of budget equilibrium (euro area rules). “Europe is currently facing a profound demographic crisis, characterised by an ageing population, declining birth rates, and increasing economic challenges for families. FAFCE believes that the EU must lead in implementing measures to counter these issues effectively”. As President Bassi noted, “families are the architects of peace in times of conflict, the builders of unity in times of isolation, and the providers of solidarity across generations. A sustainable future for Europe depends on our support” for families. FAFCE’s Resolution underscores several priorities, including: family policies should be integrated into National Recovery Plans; the establishment of a new Directorate-General for Demography and Regional Development; and the creation of an EU Agency for Demography.
