"In his presentation, the President of the Commission, Mr Romano Prodi, spoke at length about the elderly in Europe and about how to resolve the problem of pensioners. Now, I would like to inform Parliament that the Pensioners’ Party and I personally will not be satisfied until we ensure that pensioners receive a pension which is 100% equal to their salary. Can anybody explain to me why a pensioner who stops working should receive a lower pension than the salary he received when he was working? Furthermore, I have to say that I am tired of hearing people say that there is not enough money for pensions because pensioners are living too long. We predict what the weather will be doing in 20 years and we worry about all those who are going to die of BSE, so do you really think, Madam President, that we did not know that people would be living longer? We are trying to deny the obvious! The truth is that there is not enough money because it has been badly managed, not because we are living longer."@en1
