Strongly criticises the Commission's orientation that funded schemes shall be given a new boost by ‘strengthening the internal market for pensions’ – not only for occupational pension schemes but for a wide variety of private pension funds, life insurance, etc., which must obviously inform the proposed review of the Directive concerning the Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision (IORP); strongly criticises the fact that the IORP Directive opened service provision for occupational pension schemes to competition and heavily liberalized requirements on prudential regulations;
