The hearing aims at an exchange of views on whether there is a need to promote personal pensions in the EU, what a European personal pension product should look like and what the challenges are of implementing an EU personal pensions framework.

Vice-Presidents of the Commission Valdis Dombrovskis and Jyrki Katainen and Commissioner Marianne Thyssen will deliver keynote speeches, while prominent representatives of industry, consumer associations, academia and the Commission will provide their views and take part in four panel debates.
