We are happy to send you our second newsletter
about the ETS project. A quick recap: the ETS project
is all about developing a pension tracking service
where every European mobile worker can see an overview of his or her
pension and aims to bring all European pension entitlements together on
one platform. The ETS project started in 2019 and will
continue until the end of 2021.
During the last few months, the project has made
progress on the development of the Find Your Pension Pilot Website. In
addition, we have reached out to the followers of the project: we have
invited you to fill in our second survey on pension communication,
organized a webinar to share our results with you and decided that we
will reach out to several national tracking services to discuss means and
topics for further cooperation. You can read all about our activities in
this newsletter.
But we’re not the only ones who are working on
tracking services. In June 2020, the High Level Forum on the Capital
Markets Union published their final
report, in
which they call on the industry to support and contribute to financing
the full roll-out of the European Tracking System. They are of opinion
that national tracking services should feed into an EU portal such as the
European Tracking Services project we are working on. Following the High
Level Forum report, the European Commission published its Capital
Market Union Action Plan in late September. In order to
facilitate access to individualized pension information and raise
people’s awareness regarding their future retirement income, the
Commission will seek to develop best practices for the set-up of national
tracking systems. They will send a call for advice to EIOPA to seek input
on this topic. Last year, with the help of your responses, we also
conducted a survey on the state of play on national tracking services
across Europe. We are working on a report on this topic and look forward
to sharing our results to you and the broader European community.
In this newsletter, we also provide an outlook
for our upcoming interactive workshop on pension communication. Please
reserve November 26th in your calendar and read more about the content of
the workshop in the section below!
We hope you enjoy reading our newsletter!
