NAPF welcomes European Parliament's note of caution on EC Green Paper


Default: Change to:


„Das letzte, was wir brauchen ist ein System, das durch die Einführung neuer Regeln hinsichtlich des Solvency-II-Regimes die Renten verteuern wird“, sagte Joanne Segars. Solche Regeln würden sich gegen die ursprünglichen Ziele der Europäischen Kommission richten und schädlich für die Pensionen und das Renteneinkommen einzelner Personen richten.


Commenting on the European Parliament’s vote today on the EC Green Paper on pensions, Joanne Segars, Chief Executive of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), said: “We welcome the European Parliament’s view that any new EU-level protection regime for pensions must be tailored to the distinctive, long-term nature of pensions. British MEPs have removed some of the more damaging conclusions from earlier versions of the Parliament’s report. But the debate about EU action on pensions will continue. We now wait to see how the European Commission will take its proposals forwards. They must take careful note of the Parliament’s report.”
