The future of the European public’s pensions is one of the key challenges for the future of Europe and I acknowledge the difficulties that the Member States’ pension systems are encountering.
Nevertheless, I disagree that the only way to solve the problem is by paying more, working more and receiving less during retirement. I would also stress that it is the Member States that are mainly responsible for pensions. However, the European Union can add value by providing coordination between the various schemes and by sharing best practices, since it also has competence in the area of pension portability and supervising institutions for occupational retirement provision (IORP Directive).
I am only voting for this report because of the compromise based on more than 450 amendments, which include some of the main concerns regarding the White Paper. I would also caution that a decent and sustainable pensions system can only be achieved by combating an economy with jobs that are precarious, low paid and of a poor quality. Financed pensions must be based on solidarity and this must be taken into account in EU regulations."@en1
