"Madam President, in an age when few jobs are for life, when state pension schemes are generally inadequate, when worker mobility is uninhibited, and when Europe has a notably ageing population, deficiencies in pension arrangements are of increasing significance for many of our constituents. Thus what can be done to ensure adequate and flexible pension regimes should be done.
Supplementary pensions for many are an essential part of their financial planning, thus the rules governing them should not be stifling, nor should they be restrictive. Nor should they afford the opportunity for government grab by stealth taxes, something with which we are familiar in the United Kingdom.
My primary plea, however, is that in promoting the mobility of pensions we do not merely impose another layer of EU regulation. Remember, these are voluntary arrangements. Member States must retain control of what happens in their own countries where there are different regimes and different practices."@en1
