"Mr President, we are talking about the finances of the countries that have adopted the euro. I voted in favour, I am for the euro, but – today, now, before I wish everyone, including you, Mr President, the interpreters and the ushers, ‘
I should like to highlight something. It would be good if the governments of the countries that have adopted the euro took care – something they have not done so far – that unscrupulous traders, profiteers who only think of themselves, do not raise the prices of consumer products that are bought by citizens, workers and pensioners, that is, people on fixed incomes. Indeed, taking advantage of the fact that in the changeover from the national currency to the European currency, the euro, people are not yet used to the value of the new money, as is certainly the case in Italy and I believe also in other countries in the European Union, there has been a disproportionate rise in the cost of products that are mainly bought by the least well-off, especially pensioners and citizens with what is, I regret to say, a modest income."@en1
