"Madam President, if we want to safeguard the mobility of workers, we must also safeguard the portability of their rights. We cannot have workers being moved and their pension rights and entitlements acquired from years of working in their home country being lost through mobility. There are huge obstacles and problems here from neoliberal policies. I should like to thank Mrs Oomen-Ruijten on her important work, but I regret that our political group cannot agree with the report in its final form, because on the most basic material issue regulated by the new directive, namely the terms on which supplementary pension rights are acquired, the report worsens the Commission's initial proposal by calling for a five-year rather than a two-year vesting period and a minimum age limit of 25 rather than 21. A more favourable arrangement in Article 4 of the directive is needed for the benefit of young workers. That is why I call on you to support Amendments 50 and 51, which we consider important."@en1
