But the accounts of INPS is booming: in 2008 the surplus amounted to 11 billion € . 'No' to another trade union reform. (SF .)
By coincidence, the day when the European Union reiterates its recommendation to Italy on raising the retirement pension for women who work in public administration, the National Insurance Institute (INPS ) announces its financial information. And since it was not difficult to read in homegrown political reactions to the decision of the European equalize the retirement age for women than men intend to meddle in the social security system for all to make money (as confirmed yesterday directly from Brussels) the news that the INPS can count on 11 billion surplus in its management, makes the turn on the mouths of all (especially trade unions) in no time at all. Order. The "draft recommendation to be adopted Tuesday by EU finance ministers - and then be brought to the Council of Heads of State and Government of the EU 19 and 20 March - refers to a long-standing our problem: namely that both the pension expenditure to absorb virtually all the Italian social spending as a percentage of GDP (even if what you always fail to mention is that pension expenditure borne by our local health care even that, unlike what happens in other European countries, where assistance is dependent general taxation). He says the EU: the Italian expenditure on pensions is growing less than in past years, but remains among the highest in Europe, despite recent reforms (the latest, the 'steps' Prodi's welfare in the Protocol of 2007). Therefore, to ensure the sustainability of the system in the long run, you might consider raising the age requirements (with the women to take the lead). Brussels suggests to use any new revenue to expand the system of unemployment support and make it "more inclusive and uniform." Prime Minister Berlusconi remains cautious, especially after the ill-feeling within the government itself created by the draft on the adjustment of the retirement age for men and women in the public service: "We've been asked this thing. Now let's see what to do. We're talking. " The retirement accounts seem to go very well, according to figures released yesterday by INPS. Thanks largely to the revenue contribution (in particular the increase in the rate for subscribers to separate management and for artisans and traders) the pension institution has relied in 2008 on an operating surplus (which is the difference between earnings in terms of contributions and expenditure, in terms of performance) to 11 billion in assets, up 21% over 2007. Between 2001 and 2008, says the INPS, the number of workers registered with INPS has increased by 38%.
do not wait for the reactions of trade unions, which are now in the defense of pensions the only subject unit. Morena Piccinini (CGIL) speaks of "a restored balance and a positive situation that should be used for workers', and concludes:" These 11 billion resulting largely from higher contribution rates for employees and for quasi-employees, and they shall return. " "The real problem today is to increase allowances and pension age, but Brussels says nothing about this "attack Raffaele Bonanni, CISL leader," is really painful that the EU comes just another recommendation to intervene in the Italian pension system as if it were a parlor game.
