The European Commission’s Targeted Consultation on Supplementary Pensions is a not-to-be-missed moment to strengthen pension systems across the EU and ensure that citizens can build adequate retirement savings.
EFAMA welcomes the consultation that the European Commission launched on the cross-border distribution of different types of investment funds (AIFs, UCITS, EuVECA/EuSEF, and ELTIF) and the opportunity to respond as to the remaining barriers to marketing funds across the EU single market, as well as the ways to eliminate them.
