lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too would like to congratulate Mr Queiró warmly on his wonderful report, and I would like to say to the Commissioner: ‘Günter, look at paragraph 28 of the report in which we call on the Commission to produce a tourism programme for senior citizens during the low season, to be known as ’Ulysses’. This programme has existed in Spain for 20 years. I am referring to the IMSERSO holidays. Find out about them via your services, because they have been a spectacular success’. A programme of this kind has five fundamental objectives. The first is to improve the quality of life of our senior citizens on low incomes. Many of them have not had the opportunity to travel, to see the sea and to visit other countries. Secondly, such a programme must create employment for example in hotels, restaurants, transport facilities that have to shut or drastically reduce their staff in low seasons. The third objective is to generate demand and growth in the European economy by means of greater activity and consumption. The fourth involves promoting European citizenship, as in the case of the SOCRATES or ERASMUS programmes amongst young people. The fifth objective has to do with all this not being an expense but rather an investment, because the Spanish experience demonstrates that the returns exceed the sum budgeted annually by the government by 1.8%. That is only via taxes and social security returns and does not include indirect and inferred returns. We named the programme ‘Ulysses’ after the great traveller from Ithaca, but if you like, Commissioner, if it would please you, we will call it the ‘Günter’ Programme."@en1
