lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on behalf of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, I would like to express my opinion on the single market for supplementary pensions. Firstly, I would like to express my agreement with the model based on the intergenerational solidarity of the basic state systems, to which are added the supplementary capitalisation systems. On the other hand, I would also like to express my agreement with what Mr Kuckelkorn says in relation to the correlation established between pension systems which cover biometric risks. We are not talking about systems for financial investment but about pension plans. On the other hand, we are also in agreement with the participation of workers and the urgent harmonisation of the tax provisions. Nevertheless, we have to clarify the basic concept of pensions in a way which includes the supplementary pension schemes which cover biometric risks. It is necessary to clarify, on the other hand, that the single system applies to every type of worker in the European Union; there are not only workers who work for themselves in the European Union but also many cooperative workers, fortunately. We must opt for collective systems, but not only company systems – something which is mentioned in the report – but also sectoral ones, taking particular account of SMBs, which have been mentioned by Mrs Plooij-van Gorsel. We must take account of the great difficulties which exist within the Union with regard to the development of supplementary systems. We therefore understand and support the regulatory and supervisory systems for the protection of the rights of participants, but we must put the emphasis on the areas where systems are still underdeveloped, in aspects such as providing information or implementing new plans. Finally, I would like to underline our support for the creation of a European pension fund with the participation of the different economic sectors and the pension providers."@en1
