Here is an excerpt :<\/p>\n<p><em>This newsletter focuses on the calculation of transferred pension rights from the national pension scheme to the European Union pension scheme. The General Court had decided that the Commission was not allowed to always deduct from the updated capital actually transferred, an interest at 3.1%1 per year in respect of the period between the date on which the application for transfer was made and the date of the actual transfer. When the national scheme has supplied the value of the pension rights as at the date of registration of the application, the calculation of years of pensionable service under the Staff Regulations must be made on the basis of the full amount. The Court of Justice confirmed that decision by dismissing an appeal of the Commission against the Court\u2019s ruling.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>* Please note that some very special cases cannot be covered by this calculator, for example colleagues who have changed status or contract (auxiliaries \/ contract staff \/ temporary staff \/ officials). This tool also does not allow you to obtain the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/pmo\/endofcontract_en.htm\">net pension<\/a>\u00a0to which you would be entitled, in particular because it depends on your personal situation, but also on the grade and step you have reached, which is impossible to predict.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have some questions concerning your pension?
