EPSU affiliates discussed a number of key issues at a pensions working group on 1 June in Luxembourg. These included individual rights to pensions portability (a draft directive is currently being discussed in the European Parliament), gender equality and socially responsible investment. The working group agreed that it was important that pensions developments in the public services across Europe should be monitored more closely and share across EPSU affiliates. Pensions issues will get more coverage in epsucob@NEWS. Please send us news of developments in your sector. And please help us extend our mailing list. If you know anyone who may be interested in reading epsucob@NEWS then send us their email address and we will add them to the mailing list.
