"Mr President, ‘illegal work’ could also be referred to as ‘underground work’. When I told my pensioner friends that this matter was under debate, they urged me to do all in my power to ensure that they are not left underground for too long – they have trouble breathing – and to bring them up into the open air. ‘Why underground?’, you may ask, Mr President. Sadly, this is the situation. Some pensioners are forced to work ‘underground’ – i.e. illegally – because, in certain States, it is not possible to receive both a salary and a pension. If we want to combat illegal working practices we must also permit pensioners – who live on low, paltry, starvation-ration pensions – to receive a regular salary in addition to a pension, or else they will be forced to remain underground, where they could well end up suffocating."@en1
