Press Release: Pension proposal on track to improve workers’ mobility

The Commission has adopted an amended proposal to reduce obstacles to workers' mobility through improved access and better preservation of supplementary pension rights. The proposal takes on the majority of the European Parliament's amendments from June 2007. It focuses on the setting of minimum requirements for better access to pension rights, clearer rights of preservation so mobile workers' pensions are treated fairly, and improved access to useful and timely information. Its aim is to ensure that workers are not penalised because of mobility.
