      Ten questions to help trustees to challenge their advisers
      The trustee role can be viewed as similar to that of a non-executive director; they are expected to make decisions on a range of topics. 
      The challenge here is that trustees are unlikely to reach a stage where they are as knowledgeable on every topic as the advisers who are presenting them with recommendations.

Czech trade unions dismiss pension reforms

CZECH REPUBLIC - Czech trade unions and the Opposition have rejected the government's pension reform plan, according to BBC Monitoring International.


The Czech Labour Ministry plans to introduce a Notional Defined Contribution (NDC) system which creates individual national accounts that will allow all every citizen to check at any time how much they have contributed and what pension they could receive.

Trade unionists argue that the proposed model is advantageous to people on higher income.

They want the Ministry of Labour to prepare specific calculations that would clearly show what pensions would people receive under the current system and how much money they would receive under the proposed model, the BBC report said.

However, Minister Zdenek Skromach said that it was impossible to predict what pension a person could have in 30 or 40 years under any system.

The opposition head of the Civic Democratic Party floor group Vlastimil Tlusty said: “This is really a bad proposal, one that does not deal with the essence of the problem.”
