"We Swedish Social Democrats have voted in favour of reporton granting discharge to the European Parliament for 2005.
The vote must be seen in part as a success, in spite of the fact that a number of amendments concerning increased scrutiny of MEPs’ pension conditions – amendments that we supported in the vote – were rejected.
We Swedish Social Democrats have chosen not to become members of the European Parliament’s pension system. We believe that the system is unethical in the way that it is designed and we have therefore chosen to remain outside it.
Because only a very small part of Parliament’s activity relates to pensions, we think it unnecessary, however, to vote against the whole report on the grounds that precisely these amendments were rejected."@en1
