EU court condemns the Netherlands for keeping pension nationally

The Netherlands will have to amend its pension law after the highest court in the European Union condemned the Dutch government for holding on to the pensions of people who move to another EU Member State. The ruling was published on Thursday by the Sixth Chamber of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. The court ruled that the Dutch pension law does not comply with European Union agreements regarding the free movement of employees and capital. It also does not comply with prior agreements about people who want to take their pensions to another country in Europe.
