More information:

The Staff Regulation of the officials (Articles 11 and 12 of Annex VII) provides for the possibility to transfer pension rights before the entry into service to the Community pension scheme as well as reserve transfers to the pension fund at the time of leaving the public service.

For these transfers, institutions should adopt general implementing provisions for Articles 11 and 12 of the Staff

Regulation. The Commission submitted a first draft of these provisions, then withdrew it and subsequently pushed through a new proposal (

Administrative information 23/03/2011). These provisions envisage that retroactive application has to be taken into consideration to calculate the value of pension rights transferable (at 01.01.2009) which severely penalises (about 30%) the value of the transfers (ie transfers of rights to Commission).

The European Parliament, to the contrary, adopted the provisions which are not retroactively applied.

Finally, more than 10.000 colleagues have not yet received the reply of PMO to their transfer requests, because PMO has considerable delays in this area. The representative of R&D has drawn the attention of the board of the PMO to this unacceptable delay which penalises many colleagues.
