The exploitation of the elderly

8 Jul 2005

On December 6, 2001, the Commission released a consultation report on the exploitation of the elderly, published in an abridged English version as Towards a Tightened Safety Net. The consultation process led the Commission to realize that vulnerable elderly people were exposed not just to exploitation, especially economic exploitation, but also to a number of other common situations which could result in infringements of their fundamental rights.
