"Madam President, the European Court of Justice recently published its ruling against Greece which sets the same retirement age for men and women in the public sector, with the result that the retirement age for women has increased by between 5 and 17 years.
This development, which has been decisively condemned by the workers, has been systematically supported since the beginning of the 1990s and bears the stamp of the European Union and Greek governments. It is damaging to working women and is a step towards increasing the retirement age to 65 for both men and women, as already stipulated in the anti-insurance laws passed by New Democracy and PASOK for persons insured after 1993, in application of Community legislation.
This unacceptable decision totally undermines the public, social character of social insurance in the public and private sectors. It views the national insurance and pension system as a system of occupational rather than social insurance. This means that there is no guarantee in terms of age limits, pension amounts and benefits in general.
The only way forward for working men and women is disobedience and insubordination towards the decisions by the European Union and its institutions."@en1
