Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Uden for folket­ings­grup­per­ne (Jacob Harris and Cecilie Liv Hansen)

  • Who would be affected: The proposal is about citizens who have pension savings.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.
