On February 13, the Council of the EU published a press release which announced that its Permanent Representative Committee (COREPER) had agreed its position relating to the proposed Regulation on a pan-European personal pension product (“PEPP“). The text, now agreed between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council, will undergo legal and linguistic review, before the Parliament and Council will be called to adopt the final text.

In a press release, the Commission welcomed the agreement.
