"Mr President, last Sunday in Bergamo, my native town, I held a meeting on insurance and compensation for damages, which Mr Langen discussed in his report.
A young 20-year old, who had, sadly, suffered a serious road accident, rose to his feet and said: “I have suffered this serious road accident but I am, so to speak, content because I have received EUR 500 000 from the insurance company”. Another person present at the meeting, who was about 40 years of age, said: “I suffered exactly the same road accident, but I only received EUR 200 000. “An older man who was about 60 added: “I only received EUR 20 000”. Another man who was about 70 years old said: “I suffered the same accident with the same results, and I was given EUR 1 000”. An elderly 80-year old pensioner, who could not even get out of his chair because he was so disabled, said: “I did not receive anything at all from the insurance”. There you have it. Insurance companies consider that the elderly are worthless. But I say that the elderly are worth more. I therefore call for measures to be included in the regulation that will put a stop to this injustice.
