With the affiliation of Insurance & Pension Denmark PensionsEurope again takes a big step in increasing its representation of workplace pension provision in Europe that will help in its aspiration of promoting good pensions for the people of Europe.
Welcoming Insurance & Pension Denmark, PensionsEurope’s chair Janwillem Bouma said:
“I am delighted that Insurance & Pension Denmark have joined PensionsEurope. Denmark is a strong multi-pillar pension country where funded pensions play an important role. European policies and increasing regulation impact pensions and I am convinced that together we will find good solutions for the many challenges ahead.”
Mr Kent Damsgaard, Chief Executive Officer of Insurance & Pension Denmark said:
“We are in Insurance & Pension Denmark delighted to become member of PensionsEurope. Pensions policy is becoming increasingly important in the EU and consequently we believe that PensionsEurope has an even greater role to play in the future. We look forward to contribute to PensionsEurope’s great work.”
Mr Matti Leppälä, PensionsEurope Secretary General said:
“With Insurance & Pension Denmark we gain a very strong new member and now cover all Nordic countries, which is important for our actions at the European level. PensionsEurope aims to include all countries in Europe, and we hope to be able to welcome in the future new members from those Central and Eastern European countries we are still missing.”
