Supplementary pensions to the benefit of EU citizens

Occupational and private pension schemes have different levels of development within the EU. The European Commission has put these tools at the center of an initiative to tackle demographic changes and pressure on public budgets in the EU, and to enhance the capacity of EU supplementary pensions to supply long-term capital to the EU economy. The measures proposed are likely to affect the availability of financial instruments for EU citizens, the returns of their savings, national policies on supplementary pensions and may impact policies on public pensions.

This event is intended to discuss on the Commission proposal, and its impact on the above mentioned factors, and provide with policy proposals that can serve to the objectives of the proposal while introducing safeguards that guarantee that the development of supplementary pensions in a way that enhances pension adequacy and protect EU citizens.
