-The report addresses the key arguments and priorities for reform of public pension systems in Europe. Current schemes are becoming an increasing burden to taxpayers, and threat to the competitiveness of European industry. They represent a barrier to the free movement of workers since citizens cannot transfer their pension entitlements across national orders without financial penalty. This situation is growing rapidly worse due to demographic trends across the EU. ERT advocates that urgent reform should be carried out through a co-ordinated approach among European countries. The Report provides clear recommendations for action to governments and to EU policy-makers.
