Professor Hans van Meerten is a specialist in the field of pension law, financial law and EU law.
He assists employees, self-employed persons, employers, pensioners, works councils, pension funds and asset managers. Nationally and internationally. Hans always assesses how Dutch regulations relate to the underlying EU law. Many legal issues have a European law background. Hans has regularly successfully argued that Dutch regulations should give way to European law provisions.
Hans frequently gives presentations and lectures at home and abroad on the above-mentioned areas of law. Current subjects he highlights are the Dutch pension agreement and European pension regulations (PEPP, IORP and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights).
In addition, Hans is a part-time professor of pension law at Utrecht University and supervises several assistants in training.
Netherlands Bar – register of legal practice areas
Hans van Meerten has registered the following legal practice areas in the Netherlands Bar’s register of legal practice areas (rechtsgebiedenregister):
This registration obliges him to obtain ten training credits per calendar year in each registered principal legal practice area in accordance with the standards set by the Netherlands Bar.
Last year, the Swedish EU presidency published a draft proposal for a European directive to protect platform workers and combat bogus self-employment.
Last year there was another incident: the e-mail addresses of hundreds of ABP participants were made publicly available. ABP is the largest mandatory pension fund in the Netherlands, administering the pensions of civil servants, with estimated assets of 500 billion euros.
Many employees who want to move to another EU member State want to bring their pensions with them. Even a lump sum should be possible.
