lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should like to congratulate Mrs Oomen-Ruijten on her report. The portability of supplementary pension rights is not a matter of course. If in the pensions debate the Netherlands – which is, after all, a pioneer – considers issuing a veto when fresh pensions legislation is proposed, then this is certainly food for thought. It is of huge importance for new steps to be taken to guarantee better harmonisation of the different pension schemes. In addition to harmonisation, it is the financial viability of different schemes that is, above all, a cause for concern. Clearly, not everyone can endorse this report, because in respect of the Commission proposal, the rapporteur has suggested not to allow any more exceptions. I am left with a question. When the exemption option is deleted from Article 9, paragraph 3, will Member States be encouraged to transfer to a capital-based pension scheme, for surely that should be done. In the European Union, where people have the freedom to work in different Member States, an appropriate social security system should be in place, and the transfer of pension rights that have been accrued individually should be a minimum entitlement."@en1
