"Mr President, point 8 of the conclusions of Mr von Wogau's report calls upon the European States to adapt their pension systems to Europe's economy. On this point, which is the centre of my political life, I would like to stress the fact that we need to find a balance between State budgetary restrictions and giving all citizens a dignified life, not just pensioners and the elderly but young people as well. I oppose all the measures which give a minimal monthly cheque to the elderly – although this is a good thing which is right – because we should also be giving such a cheque to young people who do not have the means to support themselves and live, and we should be giving one to those who have paid contributions too. In short, there needs to be a proper balance between money and the social life to which we all have the right."@en1
