"Mr President, Commissioner, the harmonisation of social security systems would require harmonisation of the financing of social security, or, in practice, the harmonisation of taxation, not just with regard to its technical framework, but also its levels of taxation. We all know that consensus has still not been reached on this as far as policy is concerned, and that that is not going to come about quickly. For that reason I believe that a policy like this of taking small steps at a time is quite in order in this matter, and I would also ask how one aspect of this one-step-at-a-time policy is going, in other words the directive on a single market for additional pensions. The directive was supposed to have come from the Commission for a reading in the European Parliament in July, and now we have heard that it is probably being postponed until September. It may also be that it will not get discussed throughout the whole of the French presidential term. Could you give an update on this directive on a single market for additional pensions?"@en1
