73In the fourth place, it is true that, at its meeting on 1 April 2009, the Bureau not only adopted the decision of that same date but also made the commitment, in the name of the Parliament, to guarantee ‘the right of members of the Scheme to the additional pension which could be retained after exhaustion of the Pension Fund, and that, equally, any capital remaining in the Fund after all pension entitlements had been honoured would be transferred to the European Parliament’. However, that commitment clearly seeks merely to guarantee, in the likely case that the pension fund will be exhausted before the payment of all the pension rights accumulated by the members, the acquired pension rights of Members. In addition, as set out in paragraphs 46 to 51 above, the special methods of payment do not form part of those acquired rights, such that the commitment made on 1 April 2009 by the Parliament cannot have created a legitimate expectation on the part of the applicant in this regard.
