EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations provide for the implementation of Article 7 of Directive 98/49/EC of 29 June 1998 on safeguarding the supplementary pension rights of employed and self employed persons moving within the Community, (the Mobility Directive).

Article 7 of that Directive requires Member States to take measures to ensure that employers trustees and others responsible for the management of pension schemes provide adequate information to members when they move to another Member State to the extent that information is given to members who remain in the State.

This Regulation inserts a new Article 10(5) into the Occupational Pension Scheme Disclosure Regulations whichprovides for this requirement.
