Mr President, during the discussions on the Karas Report I reprimanded Mr García-Margallo y Marfil for using the word ‘Vergreisung’ with reference to old people, with its suggestion that they are too old. There seems to have been an error in translation here. Our Spanish colleague used the word ‘Alterung’, which means ‘ageing’, rather than ‘Vergreisung’. Mr President, I regret my inability to speak Spanish.
