The person named is a participant in the early retirement scheme introduced under EU Council Regulation 2079/92, which she entered in joint management with her husband.
It is a provision of the Council regulation that any national retirement pension to which a scheme participant becomes entitled must be offset against the early retirement pension. In joint management cases, any national retirement pension that either the participant or his or her spouse or partner qualifies for must be offset against the early retirement pension.
The husband of the person named is in receipt of a non-contributory old age pension. Consequently, the amount of that pension must be deducted from her early retirement pension.
