The Committee notes with satisfaction, from the Government’s reply to the Committee’s comments of 2001 concerning the application of Article 12 of the Convention, in conjunction with Article 32(e), that the provision allowing suspension or reduction of the disability pension in cases where the beneficiary caused their invalidity through gross negligence has been removed from the new pension legislation which entered into force in 2007.

The Committee would also like the Government to comment at its earliest convenience on the issues raised in the observations on the Government’s report made by the Central Organization of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK), the Finnish Confederation of Professionals (STTK) and the Confederation of Unions for Professionals and Managerial Staff in Finland (AKAVA).
