"Madam President, I voted for the Howitt report on corporate social responsibility, especially for paragraph 13, since, here, Mr Howitt calls for all pension funds to state their ethical criteria in their investment policies. However, I would have preferred it – and I would have taken greater pleasure in voting in favour – if it had established that the money currently paid to the State to pay for pensions that are often not paid out, or are paid late, or the rules are changed and pension payments are delayed by five to ten years, was to be left in workers’ pay packets. If we citizens are mature enough to pay our taxes, if we are intelligent enough to pay our taxes, then we can be mature and intelligent enough to build up a pension on our own, or, if we want to be like the proverbial grasshopper, spend it as we please while we are still young; in any case, often we don’t even live to see our pension."@en1
