Why new rules?
The existing rules for pensions are no longer adequate. Due to their dependence on interest rates, pensions have become increasingly expensive. And existing rules insist that we maintain high buffers. That comes at the expense of your pension. The new pension law increases the chance of a pension aligned with the cost of living. We are also ageing and the labour market is changing. The new pension law takes this in account. But a pension is an employment benefit. The employers and the works council decide on this together. This is why they will discuss a new pension scheme together. This must follow the new rules that will apply to everyone, young and old, whether you are currently working or have already retired.
