The pion scalar form factor along with all existing S-wave iso-scalar $pipi$-scattering phase shift data in the elastic region up to $1 {rm GeV}^2$ are applied for a determination of the $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ meson parameters $m_{f_0(500)}=(360pm33){rm MeV}$, $Gamma_{f_0(500)}=(587pm 85){rm MeV}$ and $m_{f_0(980)}=(957pm77) {rm MeV}$, $Gamma_{f_0(980)}=(164pm142){rm MeV}$ in a model independent way.
