"Madam President, I too would like to congratulate Mrs Oomen-Ruijten on her work. I also share her view that of course what this Parliament wants and what the citizens of Europe need is a result on this matter, because unquestionably, workers are more mobile for all sorts of reasons, and that is something that is to be encouraged and supported.
I find myself in the position of supporting the Commission’s original proposal over and beyond the report that is in front of us. I find it inexplicable as to why the age threshold of 21 years is suggested to be raised to 25. I accept that workers very often leave it until much later to even consider their pension entitlement, but I think as a rule of thumb we should be encouraging people to make those provisions and consider those matters at the earliest possible point, so in our group we will be supporting amendments to change those age-related provisions.
In addition, I cannot understand why the self-employed are not also covered in these provisions. I think that is very worrying and again our group will vote in accordance with that concern."@en1
