Please note : Speech by Gregory MIROUX, AFG Director of Employee and Retirement Savings, at Session 3″What will the future hold for IORPs?” (14:30-15:30).
In line with the Commission’s Communication on the savings and investments union, key measures have been announced to further develop the supplementary pension sector and remove potential barriers to equity investments by pension funds where they exist. The Commission has committed to reviewing the existing EU frameworks for Institutions for occupational retirement provision (IORPs) and the Pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP) by the fourth quarter of 2025. This review aims to increase participation in supplementary pensions, ensuring adequate income in retirement, and enhancing the capacity of pension funds to channel household savings into productive investments.
On 16 June, the Commission will host a reality check dedicated to exploring emerging trends in retirement provisioning across the European Union. This forum will highlight best practices from Member States and pave the way for sharing successful strategies across the Union. The reality check will showcase success stories on second and third pillar pensions and explore how best practices can be used as guideposts for further reforms. Discussions will seek feedback from all stakeholders active in providing retirement products.
Join us to gather insights from industry experts, civil society, as we focus on current pension legislation, including PEPP, IORP, and Solvency II, and work towards building a more robust, inclusive, dynamic and effective pension framework within the EU.
