Best of luck with the transition back to 'that' way of life

Just out of curiosity, how does this kind of turmoil affect pension benefits? None of us are getting any younger and I know that the bullshit thing called the EU purports to allow "transition of pension contributions from member state to member state" but in reality, that's bullshit - 10 years of contribs in the UK == 3 years contribs in France. So how does the moving back to the US affect you in that area?

I know most UK have private pensions, and US too, but are they flexible like that or will you end up with 20GBP here and 20USD there per month etc when the time comes....
