Neither the commission, nor the parliament (or Eurostat) are providing this information in a comprehensive way.
For the elections of 2004 onwards post-election reports exist (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/pdf/eurobarometre/2014/post/post_ee2014_sociodemographic_annex_en.pdf).
So I would rather need information for the elections before 2004. Thank your for your support!

Thank you! GESIS offers as far as I can see all the relevant datasets. The additional texts and papers are really helpful anyways.
Bear in mind that any such information is always based on survey evaluation and not actual electoral roll data. As a result, different surveys can come up with fairly different estimates of participation by age groups (on some election types, differences can easily reach 10 percentage points). This is especially the case to the extent that turnout is a "socially desirable" behaviour and we do not always agree on the specific extent to which different types of individuals are likely to lie about their vote. This is still the best we can get so it is fine to use it ,but the distinction is important to bear in mind.
