Abstract
The article provides a general framework for the proposal for the Pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP) and details some particular aspects that will be discussed in the context of its application such as “national compartments” and the problem of PEPP taxation.
The PEPP is analysed as an instrument of the Capital Markets Union (CMU). It is concluded that it represents an opportunity for the EU to obtain long-term investment liquidity but also that, in the end, it is just a small palliative measure to alleviate the structural deficiencies of the EMU that remain to be solved.
