Improving the acquisition and preservation of supplementary pension rights in order to enhance worker mobility

The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs adopted the recommendation for second reading contained in the report by Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN (EPP, NL) on the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum requirements for enhancing worker mobility between Member States by improving the acquisition and preservation of supplementary pension rights.

As a result of negotiations with the Council, the committee recommended that Parliament should approve the Council position at first reading without amendments given that the proposal guarantees legal certainty about supplementary pension rights in case of cross-border labour mobility.
