Joanne Segars, Chief Executive, NAPF, said: “The EU plans for UK pensions come with a clear and unpalatable price tag. Businesses trying to run final salary pensions could be faced with bigger pensions bills to plug an astonishing £450 billion funding gap. This would have a highly damaging effect for the retirement prospects of millions of UK workers. This project has been conducted at breakneck speed due to the Commission’s ludicrously tight timetable. This cannot be the basis for formulating a policy that could undermine the retirement plans of millions of people both in the UK and across Europe.“
“The European Commission needs to rethink its proposals, instead of trying to hurry them through. It would be better to focus on the 60 million EU citizens who have no workplace pension, instead of eroding the good pensions already in place.”
