"Mr President, I have been a Member of the European Parliament for 15 months now. Today, 5 October 2000, did not start well, but it has become the happiest day of my time at Parliament, for today Amendment No 62 to Mr Thomas Mann's report has been adopted. I strongly supported this amendment, which reads: “no discrimination
as regards access to health care, welfare benefits, and economic assistance shall be permitted on the grounds of the age of a disabled person”.
In my opinion, this is an extremely important result: it shows – if I may be permitted to rejoice at this, Mr President – that there is some point to my being here. I would like to thank the Members who helped and supported me – for I could not have achieved this result alone – Mr Speroni of the Lega Nord, Mr Thomas Mann, the rapporteur, from the European People's Party, Mrs Lambert of the Group of the Greens and Mr Helmer from the British Conservative Party. They have risen above party politics and shown that, when an amendment is right, they will support it, whoever the author."@en1
