Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Transposition of IORP II Directive: Discussion
Mr. David Harney:
It is hard to give a precise answer to that because pension arrangements are so different in different countries. The three countries within Europe with a lot of these types of schemes are Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands. Things are quite different in Portugal, Spain and Germany. The most similar country against which to benchmark ourselves is the UK because of the nature of individual arrangements and the protections currently in place.
