Während PEPP für die private Altersvorsorge entwickelt wird, will EIOPA davon auch für die bAV lernen. Gabriel Bernardino, EIOPA-Vorsitzender, sagte in seiner Rede „Exploring new horizons for the benefit of the citizens in the European Union“ auf der EIOPA-Konferenz am 18. Oktober 2016 in Frankfurt (Artikel Leiter-bAV) dazu:  

„Looking forward, a further important step would be the design of a simple and transparent 2nd regime for Defined Contribution Occupational Pensions Schemes.

This framework should be capable to take full advantage of the potential of the European Union internal market, by providing a cross-border platform which European companies could use to manage the retirement plans of their employees, reduce costs, support long-term funding of the European Union economy and ultimately deliver better pension outcomes.  

EIOPA will develop first ideas on the components of this framework and on the design of potential scheme solutions that, while allowing the control of costs by sponsors, would mitigate for the members the increased risks coming from the move towards pure Defined Contribution plans.“  

EIOPA hat inzwischen die Arbeit am pan-europäischen Rahmen für reine Beitragszusagen aufgenommen. Der EIOPA-Vorschlag dazu soll voraussichtlich Ende 2017/Anfang 2018 zur öffentlichen Konsultation gestellt werden (siehe auch S. 9 und 36 des EIOPA Single Programming Document 2017-2019 (AWP 2017) vom Oktober 2016).
