"Madam President, how could the Pensioners' Party not vote for the Charter of Fundamental Rights? It is the first document of such importance in the whole world to contain an article – Article 25 – entitled 'The rights of the elderly', which reads: “the Union recognises and respects the rights of the elderly to lead a life of dignity and independence and to participate in social and cultural life”. At last, an important association of States, the most important association in existence, the European Union, and the most important body, the only body directly elected by the people – the European Parliament – recognises that the elderly as such have rights. This is why I was extremely happy to vote for this Charter."@en1
