MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Mobility for senior citizens across the EU – E-001731/2024

Question for written answer  E-001731/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Seán Kelly (PPE)

With numerous Member States offering discounted or cheaper travel passes for their senior citizens at regional and national level, this promotes independence of older citizens, while ensuring that their mobility remains a priority.

Has the Commission considered the possibility of developing an initiative where an EU-wide discount is provided to senior citizens to facilitate their travel within the EU? Could such a system be modelled on the implementation of the European disability card and European parking card system? This could also contribute to the tourism industries across all Member States.
