Hi Arthur - I'm sorry I have no knowledge whatsoever to answer your question, but my suggestion would be that you post your question of the open forum, where all the knowledgeable members are poised to answer questions just like this! You've put it in the blog section, though it isn't really a blog (blogs are musings, diaries, light reading), and people don't come to this section to answer questions. Click on "home" at the top, and start a new thread in the general questions part. Good luck!

european pensions are portable across europe.
Yes, you need to tell the pension authorities exist exist (e.g. France, belgium, NL). There is no penalty for moving country. You need to inform the pension provider of the new address. You can also have the pension paid into any bank account. given the pension is in euros, you need to have a euro bank account or transfer the money into your GBP account. However, you will be subject to exchange variation. never use your bank to transfer funds since they are expenisve. use services like transferwise.com and others.
