"The delegation of the Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) in the European Parliament today voted against the initiative report on the Green Paper on European pensions, because it contained several ambiguities and inaccuracies. We support a number of improvements, such as the encouragement of a good combination of state and occupational pension schemes in Member States and a European tracking system for increased job mobility, so that every citizen knows what they can expect from their pension and make their own choices. However, rising unemployment, problems in the financial markets, high national debt and slow economic growth could lead to difficulties in terms of Member States’ pension payment obligations, with repercussions on the Stability and Growth Pact and therefore the stability of the euro.
In addition, the increasingly ageing population is having a major impact in many Member States, because they do not save as much as the Dutch. We therefore need harmonised supervision of pension systems, and some Member States ought to organise their pension systems differently. We do not, however, want any tampering whatsoever with the Dutch pension system. In order to guard against this, despite voting in favour of a number of good points in the report, we remain against the report as a whole. The VVD Group in the European Parliament: Hans van Baalen, Jan Mulder and Toine Manders."@en1
