For the attention of Mrs Kristiina Selgis
Dear Mrs Selgis,
Thank you for your response to our meeting request.
We would like to clarify that, although the ECB is a supranational EU
institution, it operates independently from the European Commission and from
other EU bodies covered by the Pension Scheme of European Officials.
Indeed, the European Central Bank (ECB) is granted legal personality under
Article 282(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)
and Article 9(1) of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and
of the European Central Bank (ESCB/ECB Statute) and enjoying independence
under Article 130 TFEU and Article 7 of the ESCB/ECB Statute.
In line with this legal status, the ECB is the responsible provider of
social security benefits for its staff members. It has set up its own
pension scheme in order to provide its members of staff and their dependant
family members with retirement benefits. The legal framework governing this
pension scheme, and entitlements under the scheme, has been adopted by the
Governing Council of the ECB based on Article 36 of the ESCB/ECB Statute.
The ECB pension scheme is governed by Annex IIIa to the Conditions of
Employment
<https://www.ecb.europa.eu/careers/pdf/coe_annex_3a_staff_joining_from_1_june_2009.pdf>
for Staff of the ECB (Annex IIIa). This legal framework includes a provision
under which the ECB shall enter into agreements or make appropriate
arrangements with other employee benefit arrangements, organisations and
governments to accept the transfer to the Scheme of amounts of cash in
respect of members of staff.
In this context, we believe it would be useful to arrange a meeting to
discuss in more detail the topic of pension transfers between your national
pension system and the ECB. We would greatly appreciate your feedback on
this matter and are fully prepared to arrange an initial meeting in early
2026 to commence discussions.
I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
