"Mr President, I voted for the MacCormick report on liability for defective products because ‘it is meet and right so to do’. However, allow me to say that it does not go far enough for me or the Pensioners’ Party. The European Union must do more to enforce liability for damages suffered by citizens, particularly the weaker members of society, caused by the defective products of public administration. How often do European pensioners receive their pensions on time? How often do widows and elderly people receive the correct allowance? The States are guilty of such offences and should be held liable. Since we punish private individuals and make them pay damages, why should we not exact just as much payment, and I would advocate greater penalties, when the damages are caused by public authorities?"@en1
