Divided into three key parts, this judicious Commentary first identifies the sources of EU pensions law and how EU law directly and indirectly affects pension rights, before considering the legislative background and articles of the IORP II Directive. Finally, it investigates important EU pension law issues, such as the mobility of EU workers and the protection of Pillar 2 employee pension rights.

● Examines the impact of EU state aid law on pensions
● Discusses the meaning of the ‘prudent person rule’ in Article 19 of the IORP II Directive
● Provides a detailed article-by-article analysis of the IORP II Directive, in comparison to the relevant articles of the IORP I Directive

Critical Acclaim
‘EU Pensions Law is an important and comprehensive resource. Every practitioner and policymaker whose work touches on EU pensions should have a copy of this volume. Bennett and van Meerten provide guidance and insights that will be valuable to both pension novices and pension experts.’

‘For those who would like to know more about the IORP II Directive and its operation, this is an interesting book. Certainly the relationship with UK law is plainly fascinating and this even after Brexit. Moreover, the authors make a very interesting and readable comparison between the first IORP directive and the second IORP directive. The reader gets a historical legal insight into the evolution between the two directives.’
