Text tabled : A7-0025/2011

  George Sabin Cutaş (S&D), in writing. – (RO) I voted for the resolution for which I was appointed rapporteur on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. I find the final text of the resolution balanced, emphasising both the importance of the public pension pillar and the need for a proper second pillar in all Member States. An idea which I tried to suggest was to define a minimum EU-level pension, which will guarantee a secure, decent income for European citizens. Unfortunately, it did not receive sufficient positive feedback from among my fellow Members. However, I hope that in future the Commission will come up with this kind of proposal.
