"Mr President, last night I dreamt of the great Greek philosopher, Socrates, whose name has been given to the Socrates programme admirably outlined by Mrs Pack. I voted for the report. However, in this dream, Socrates seemed very angry, very upset and very annoyed, and he said to me: ‘What is this programme you have given me? Why have you named this programme after me? I deserve a more important programme. And above all,’ said Socrates, ‘I am not saying I want poison to be administered to others as it was to me, but I want a programme bearing my name to concern itself, not just with young people, but with the elderly too. I was prevented from becoming a pensioner by being forced to drink hemlock, the poison I was given in prison. I would have loved to be able to grow old and become a pensioner and go sightseeing around Europe! But you are not interested in the elderly. Tomorrow morning, tell them what I have said in your explanation of vote.’ This is what I have done."@en1
