Ceemet key messages
- IORPs are social institutions and need to be considered as such in the Directive
- Overregulating IORPs’ governance will result in excessive administrative burden and undermine employees’ future pension provisions
- A comprehensive impact assessment should cover stakeholders’ and IORPs’ voluntary actions, not only existing legal requirements
- Administration and risk management measures should serve a purpose, not exist for their own sake
- Information obligations must be cost effective and proportionate to members’ and beneficiaries’ needs
