"Yesterday, Mr President, I closed my eyes for a moment to think about how I should explain my vote in favour of the Bowis report on disease prevention and control. With my eyes closed, I saw that Mr Bowis, in the next legislative period, had become EU Commissioner for Health and, with his usual commitment and professional ability, had succeeded in obtaining a huge financial and organisational undertaking to prevent a good many diseases for EU citizens, thus reducing health expenditure across Europe, as well as disability pensions, without needing to reduce the budget for pensions and so harm pensioners.
This is why – with the hope that this really happens– I voted in favour of his report."@en1
