"Madam President, I voted for the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion of the EU-Swiss Confederation agreements not only because I feel that it is extremely important for Switzerland, which will undoubtedly become part of the European Union in what we hope will be the near future, to have agreements established with the Member States of the Union, but also because, when I think of Switzerland, I feel a sense of relief. Indeed, even today, all the newspapers in the European Union were proclaiming that even the fall of the European single currency, the euro, is the fault of the pensioners. Well! So pensioners are responsible for everything that goes wrong! In Switzerland, on the other hand, where income tax is only 10%, pensions are much higher than in our States. Therefore, the Pensioners’ Party has a liking for Switzerland."@en1
