11/07/2018 (Agence Europe) – The vote of Parliament's committee on economic and monetary affairs on the draft report by Sophie in't Veld (ALDE, Netherlands) on the creation of a pan-European personal pension product (PEPP) did not end up taking place on Wednesday 11 July (see EUROPE 11985). According to our information, several compromise texts were not wrapped up last week. The political groups then agreed to postpone the vote and thereby avoid any undue haste over several open questions, such as the default guarantee option, disbursement against the backdrop of access to the market for asset managers or the inclusion of occupational pension institutions (OPI) on the list of authorised providers. The committee vote will take place after the summer break, on 3 September of this year. The Council adopted its position at the end of June (see EUROPE 12045). (MF)
