"Mr President, I voted for the measure tabled by the Chairman of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, Mr Bouwman, who is rightly concerned to protect employees in the event that their employer becomes insolvent. How could I do otherwise?
When are we going to concern ourselves, then, Mr President, with the bad debt of States as regards pensions? There are many citizens who receive their pensions late: that is bad debt on the part of States. There are many citizens who, after working for a great many years, receive tiny pensions which amount to starvation rations: that is bad debt on the part of States. There are many widows who receive less than half the pension their deceased husband received: is this not just as serious employer bad debt, which I hope Mr Bouwman will proceed to settle in some fashion one day."@en1
