"Mr President, as a member who has just had to withdraw from the Committee on Petitions, I would like to thank my colleagues on that committee, and indeed the secretariat and all who have helped me. It is simply a question of workload on other committees.
I do think it is important that we draw attention to our successes. In my time, we had Equitable Life where soon, the UK Government will be paying out compensation to EU citizens who had problems. We also have the unresolved problem of property rights that other colleagues have mentioned here. I would support the call by Michael Cashman that some initiative should be taken for citizens who purchase properties in other Member States, either to warn them that they are not protected as EU citizens or to do something about it.
We talk in this House about ‘more Europe’ and I think this is one area where we do perhaps need ‘more Europe’ for our legal system, particularly in relation to property."@en1
