"Madam President, 'in cauda venenum' as the Romans used to say: 'the sting is in the tail'. I voted against this report, and I was right to do so. An amendment was rejected which I had tabled, which called for disabled people, the blind and partially sighted, the hearing-impaired, seriously ill people and the very elderly, who as such receive benefits and pensions from the Member States, not to be treated according to current European Union regulations which stipulate that if they go to a Union State which is not their country of residence then they cannot receive their pension. In practice, a disabled person cannot travel within the European Union – from Italy to the United Kingdom, from France to Germany etc. – because, if he moves and changes his country of residence, he will no longer be entitled to the benefits on which he depends to live. When will we put an end to this injustice?"@en1
