Council Conclusion on Pension Fund Directive

07 May 2001



-
The Council considers that the Directive should promote:
  • the affordability of pension schemes and the provision of a high level of protection of the rights of present and future pensioners as well as the facilitation of cross-border activity by IORPs;
  • the delivery of the European Council's economic reform goals;
  • cross-border membership based on mutual recognition of national prudential systems complemented by regulatory and supervisory co-operation to ensure effective enforcement of relevant social and labour laws in the state of the pension rights holder.
