EU Pension Law

Elgar European Law series

Yves Stevens, Professor of Law, University of Leuven, Belgium

This timely book provides a comprehensive overview of European pension law with a dual purpose: both to introduce the legal aspects of different forms of pension at the European level, as well as to explore the main legal policy issues.

‘The author calls this book an introductory guide but indeed it is far more than that. It is the first comprehensive book covering EU pension law. The author is very experienced in this area and therefore provides a precise view and lots of insights. He combines a comparative analysis of statutory-based pensions, occupational pensions and personal pensions with EU rules and coordination issues. Last but not least he introduces the term “European Pension Law” and puts it in the right perspective. Anybody dealing with pensions in Europe should have and read this book.’
– Heinz-Dietrich Steinmeyer, University of Münster, Germany
