The European Parliament on 15 April 2014 adopted the Directive on supplementary pension rights helping workers to take full pension rights with them when moving to another EU Member State. ERA’s “Annual Conference on European Social Security Law 2014", to be held on 26-27 May 2014 in Trier, will discuss  the most recent developments in legislation, jurisprudence and practice in this field.

The Directive aims at ensuring mobile workers do not lose supplementary pension rights fully or partially financed by their employers when moving to another country in the EU. Current rules protect only statutory pension rights paid by the state.

Under the new legislation, supplementary pension rights will have to be guaranteed at the latest after three years of active membership in a pension scheme run by the employer. The rights of workers who leave such a pension scheme before retirement must be preserved and treated fairly in comparison to employees who are members of the scheme until retirement. The Directive also includes right to be informed about pension rights in case they move abroad.

Cross-border workers will benefit from the same rights as workers moving to another EU Member State.

The Directive still needs to be formally adopted by the Council.

The conference will focus on social security coordination and workers’ mobility. Audronė Morkūnienė, Attaché for Social Security and Labour at the Permanent Representation of Lithuania to the EU, will discuss acquisition and preservation of supplementary pension rights.
