My proposal is that for pensions of between €60,000 and €80,000, we should shift the levy from 12% to 20%, that for a pension between €80,000 and €100,000 we would move the levy from 12% to a levy of 50% and for anything above €100,000, the levy would move from 20% to 99%. In other words, we would end the phenomenon of pensions above €100,000 for civil servants.
