Dear Mrs. Sumil-Laanemaa and dear Mrs. Tomingas,

I am reaching out to follow up on our email dated 8 December 2025 and the 
letter dated 17 December 2025 from Mrs. Kristiina Selgis, Head of the 
Department of Benefits and Pension Policy at the Ministry of Social Affairs.

During our exchanges at the end of 2025, we had the opportunity to clarify 
that while the ECB is a supranational EU institution, it operates 
independently from the European Commission and other EU entities governed by 
the Pension Scheme of European Officials. Considering this, you acknowledged 
the importance of a formal dialogue to ensure full alignment between our 
respective systems. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and your 
openness to engaging in discussions regarding the specificities of the ECB’s 
pension arrangements.

To move forward, we would be delighted to arrange an online meeting to 
exchange insights and to go deeper into the details of our respective 
pension systems. At your convenience, could you kindly share 3 to 4 
potential dates so that we can schedule the meeting accordingly?

Thank you once again for your availability and understanding.

With best regards.

Thierry Ragueneau.
