EIOPA publishes a Database of pension plans and products in EEA

EIOPA has developed a Database which is a unique resource providing a
comprehensive snapshot of the European pensions' landscape and, thus,
helps to better understand pension systems in Europe.

The Database maps the variety of those non-public arrangements and
investment vehicles which have an explicit objective of retirement
provision (according to a national social and labour law or tax rules)
irrespective whether they are of occupational or personal type. Therefore,
both 1st pillar-bis pensions available in the Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE) and plans/products which are defined in the legislation but not yet
offered to the public (or have no members) are also included. The pension
plans managed by the State or public entities (1st pillar pensions) and
"pure" annuities (i.e. products not linked to an accumulation phase)
are excluded from the Database.

The Database has been prepared by EIOPA on a best effort basis, with
contributions from national competent authorities. Adjustments and
simplifications were applied both in defining characteristics of plans and
products and in providing the information by the authorities. Therefore,
the Database should not be interpreted as a fully complete, "official"
list of all pension plans and products offered in the European Economic
Area (EEA). Similarly, the definitions and classifications used have been
established for the purpose of the Database and are not binding in any
way. In addition, for some countries the information contained in the
Database may not be entirely explicative of the national context.

The Database is a living project and is aimed to be updated, checked for
completeness, consistency and methodological aspects on a regular basis.

The database files can be viewed on EIOPA website (Link:
