"Mr President, allow me to start by congratulating the Commissioner, although it would appear that I am not alone as the large majority wishes to do likewise. Even Mr Fatuzzo, the pensioners' representative, is well pleased. And indeed, what we have heard is impressive. Of course, from what I have read in the press, you have taken these initiatives in the teeth of opposition from numerous members of the Commission, who consider them somewhat progressive. The point is: with Article 140 talking of a high level of protection, what can reform mean if it does not maintain a high level of protection? But, mainly, I wanted to raise two questions. We talk of decent pensions through complementary pillars. So far so good. But have you checked if this complementarity can be applied to the entire pyramid of workers, and especially to small and medium-sized enterprises and low incomes, or do we need to take a different approach here? Secondly, as the objective is not just sustainable pensions, but decent sustainable pensions, should we not look at what margins will be earmarked for pensions from increases in the gross domestic product?"@en1
