Mr President, I cannot refrain from delivering this explanation of vote. The document is entitled: ‘eEurope 2005: An information society for all’. For all? For absolutely everybody? Mr Silvio Berlusconi has issued a letter giving money to students to buy computers. What about pensioners? I would like pensioners not to be overlooked in this information society. I propose that, when pensioners draw their first pension payment, together with this first pension payment they should be given – and I stress, given – a computer, so that they too can enjoy the benefits, the marvels and the joys of information technology.
