The upcoming European elections in May 2019 will lead to a reconfiguration of the European Parliament and the European Commission. These elections are of the utmost importance for European Financial Services Users (i.e. most EU citizens), represented by BETTER FINANCE. BETTER FINANCE outlined the priority actions that would go a long way towards addressing the protection of savers and investors and strongly benefit the real economy. In the name of European citizens, we asked all European politicians and political groups through a Public Call to clearly answer a short questionnaire to show their colours when it comes to financial policy. BETTER FINANCE will announce the results (or lack thereof) during a press conference on Wednesday 15 May 2019. We will inform the media and all European voters of what each EU Political Party stands for with respect to EU citizens’ financial rights as long-term savers and users of financial services. The Key Priorities for the Next Five Years can be found here: https://betterfinance.eu/publication/better-finance-key-priorities-for-the-next-five-years-%E2%94%82-2019-2024/ To fill out the survey, please go here: https://betterfinance.typeform.com/to/clpmBz

Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, BETTER FINANCE remembers its humble beginnings and the long way it has come to become the voice of European citizens as savers and investors and the role it has played towards greater protection for financial services users. The role of BETTER FINANCE and the importance of representing financial users at the European level has not only been acknowledged by its members but also by members of the European Parliament, such as Pervenche Berès, Sven Giegold and Wolf Klinz.

On the occasion of the 6th #Youth4Climate March in Brussels, BETTER FINANCE offers its support to the marching youths and highlights the importance of strong public policy in ensuring sustainable investment opportunities for investors. In short, a BETTER Sustainable future for us all #sustainablefinance

This is a video created by BETTER FINANCE© illustrating the capital protection scam for the basic PEPP (default investment option). The political agreement reached by the EU co-legislators does not provide for a true, real protection of the pension saver's accumulated capital at retirement: the so-called guarantee merely covers capital minus "all fees, charges and expenses that are directly or indirectly borne by the investor".
