We have previously informed you<\/a> of the Belgian State\u2019s attempt to further limit the accumulation of EU institutional and Belgian pension rights. This will be relevant to you if you still have Belgian pension rights that have not been transferred to the EU pension scheme.<\/p>\n

Union Syndicale has raised the issue with the Commission<\/a>, maintaining that the measures being taken by the Belgian authorities would infringe EU law. In its reply<\/a>, the Commission confirms our viewpoint and explains how it is seeking to have these measures annulled. It has even provided the pensioners concerned with a standard letter that can be sent to the Belgian authorities.<\/p>\n

Union Syndicale will closely monitor the situation to ensure you receive the necessary information to protect your rights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
