Currently, an employer can dismiss an employee when they reach legal 65.
But will increase with increasing the state pension age to 66 in 2024 and 67, a decade later, the Commission noted that the law of retirement is outdated and employers should extend flexible working.

Do not make the bed in the morning can actually help you stay healthy, scientists believe.
Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also attractive to dust mites believed to cause asthma and other allergies.
A study by Kingston University discovered bugs can not survive in hot, dry conditions of an unmade bed.
The average bed occupancy rate was at home, on 1.5 million house dust mites.
The insects that are less than one millimeter in length and feed on human skin scales and produce allergens which are easily inhaled during sleep.
The conditions for the heat and humidity in an occupied bed are ideal for the animals is ideal, but are less likely to thrive when moisture is in shorter.
Scientists have a computer model to track changes in the apartment, the number of mites can be reduced in beds.
Research, said Dr. Stephen Pretlove: We know that mites can only survive through the absorption of water from the atmosphere through small glands on the outside of the body.
Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites dehydrate and die. In the next stage of their research the scientists are mite pockets into beds in 36 homes across the UK to their computer model to test and examine how the daily lives affect mite populations.
Design features such as heating, ventilation and insulation will also be amended in order to monitor, manage, such as the mites.
Dr Pretlove said that the investigation had the potential to reduce the treatment to 700m past mite induced illnesses each year in the United Kingdom.
Our findings could help building designers, say, creating healthy homes and health of workers, the most vulnerable environments mites. Dr Matt Hallsworth, Asthma UK, said: allergens of house dust mites, a major trigger for many people with asthma, but it is very difficult to avoid. Professor Andrew Wardlaw, of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, agrees.
He said: The mites are very important in asthma and allergies, and it is good that they are ways to MoDifiy home to lower concentrations of dust mites found.
It is true that mites need moisture to grow and can not survive in the desert is too dry (like) conditions.
However, most households in the UK are sufficiently humid for the mites do well and I find it hard to believe that he did not simply read no effect moisture has on the whole.

A senior Italian officials sharply criticized Haiti earthquake relief, said he could have done much better.

He told Italian television channel RAI, hoping that it was the last time the world works this way.
Mr Bertolaso, a government minister said it was reasonable and recommended for the United States to lead relief efforts, but it means too many executives who will not be able to see a competent leader.
We have a guide, the ability to coordinate that goes beyond military discipline, he said, is missing.

Should be postponed, while renovation work is completed.
Caroline Gluck, the Oxfam, told the BBC that the decision could be dangerous for the survivors.
Previously, we reported the experience can cause a large inventory of all types of security problems, such as robbery, rape and the kind of activity when the bonds held camps, too much, he said.
Oxfam urged the sides to be lower, he added.
Previously, the Haitian Minister of Communications Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue said authorities were still far from the total number of deaths.
