"Mr President, this is the last explanation of vote of the year 2000 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the other Presidents for your patience in listening to me throughout the year. The year 2000 did not start off on a good note for Carlo Fatuzzo: in the spring my wallet and credit cards were stolen in Barcelona, during the summer my new bicycle was stolen in Strasbourg and in the autumn my diary and address book were stolen in Brussels. However, today the Sbarbati report which helps the elderly has been adopted, and this has raised my spirits and brought a smile back to my face.
I would like to close by saying to Mrs Flemming, sitting here next to me, that the fact that we are living longer does not mean – as you so rightly said, dear Mrs Flemming – that we get older. It means that we get younger! In fact, once upon a time, a 40-year old would have been considered to be old, and today they are young. You are a young woman, Mrs Flemming, and if I were not married I would ask you out!"@en1
