Chassaing Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 [quote user="lebois"]Hi Everyone!I think this petition is destined to receive huge support............ Perhaps you'd like to visit too?http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/pensionpoverty/The UKs Basic Pension is 17% of the National Average Wage.Most European pensioners receive a Basic Pension of at least 60% oftheir countries Average wage. Only Estonia (33%),Ireland (31%),Holland(30%)and the UK(17%) pays a Basic Pension of under 40% of its AverageWage. APolitical consensus was reached by the EU Nations at the Laeken Summit2001. that each Member State would attempt to attain a Basic Pension of40% of its Average Wage by 2007 and then work towards 60%.The UK provides the worst Basic Pension by far.In fact , taking the Pension as a percentage of each countries AverageWage you will note that Pensioners in Greece, Luxembourg, Spain andItaly receive over 5 times our basic pension. Those in Portugal, Malta, Hungary and France receive over 4 times as much and those in Poland,Czech Republic ,Latvia ,Finland and Sweden receive 3 times as much.Slovakia ,Cyprus ,Denmark, Germany ,Lithuania and Belgium receive overdouble ,whist finally Estonia Ireland and Holland have almost twice ourbasic pension.Regards.[/quote]I'm happy to be delusional....... thanks for the compliment.

Polremy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Do you mean "complement" or "compliment"?It was spelt one way in my mail box and the other way when I went to the forum. Actually, it makes quite a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
