Free movement of persons would not be possible without the guarantee that citizens do not lose their social security rights when moving to another Member State, be it for reasons linked to work or for other reasons. In order to safeguard the social security rights of persons moving within the EU/EFTA, common rules are established at EU level. The outcome of the EU rules on social security coordination is a high-quality level of coordination techniques based on some key principles: a) the prohibition of discrimination, reinforced by the equal treatment of cross-border facts and events (i.e. principle of assimilation); b) the aggregation of insurance periods; c) the exportability of benefits; and d) the determination of a single applicable legislation. The Coordination Regulations only 'coordinate' the various social security systems. Consequently, Member States are still free to decide what benefits to grant, to whom, under what circumstances and for how long. Moreover, coordination can be applied only in respect of legislation concerning social benefits which are within the material scope of the Coordination Regulations. It covers the following branches of social security: sickness benefits, maternity and equivalent paternity benefits, invalidity benefits, old-age benefits, survivors' benefits, benefits in respect of accidents at work and occupational diseases, death grants, unemployment benefits, pre-retirement benefits, and family benefits. The Coordination Regulations also apply to special non-contributory cash benefits but not to social and medical assistance and certain benefits which are a compensation for damages. Article 91 of the Implementing Regulation requires the competent authorities to compile statistics on the application of the Coordination Regulations and to forward them to the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems. Such data are of great importance, as they illustrate the impact of the Coordination Regulations, both in terms of persons involved and related public spending. This statistical report provides an overview and evaluation of the current data collection and reporting on the EU coordination of social security systems. It draws conclusions and identifies trends by area of social security. The separate thematic reports could be consulted for a more detailed analysis and reporting of the data.

This statistical report provides an overview of the impact of the Coordination Regulations, both in terms of persons involved and related public social spending. It draws conclusions and identifies trends by area of social security. This 2021 edition focuses on the most recent developments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic strongly reduced intra-EU mobility in 2020. To what extent this reality becomes visible in the statistics on the coordination of social security systems is discussed in the various chapters of the report. The COVID-19 pandemic may have had a significant impact on the mobility of posted workers and persons working in two or more Member States, as well as on cross-border healthcare and the export of unemployment benefits. It is less likely that the COVID-19 pandemic had any impact on the export of old-age pensions, family benefits, and maternity and equivalent paternity benefits.
Free movement of persons would not be possible without the guarantee that citizens do not lose their social security rights when moving to another Member State , be it for reasons linked to work or for other reasons. In order to safeguard the social security rights of persons moving within the EU/EFTA (and the UK) , common rules are established at EU level. The outcome of the EU rules on social security coordination is a high-quality level of coordination techniques based on some key principles: a) the prohibition of discrimination, reinforced by the equal treatment of cross-border facts and events (i.e. principle of assimilation); b) the aggregation of insurance periods; c) the exportability of benefits; and d) the determination of a single applicable legislation.
Free movement of persons would not be possible without the guarantee that citizens do not lose their social security protection when moving to another Member State. In order to protect the social security rights of persons moving within the EU/EFTA, common rules are established at EU level. Detailed rules are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 ('Basic Regulation') and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 ('Implementing Regulation') (hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Coordination Regulations"). Through these rules, the legislator offers a well-developed social protection to mobile persons in the EU/EFTA. In order to protect the social security rights of persons moving within the EU, some key principles are set out in the Coordination Regulations: a) the prohibition of discrimination, reinforced by the equal treatment of cross-border facts and events (i.e. principle of assimilation); b) the aggregation of insurance periods; c) the exportability of benefits; and d) the determination of a single applicable legislation. The Coordination Regulations only 'coordinate' the various social security systems. Consequently, Member States are still free to decide who is to be insured, what benefits should be granted, how they should be calculated and for how long they should be granted. Moreover, coordination can be applied only in respect of legislation concerning social benefits which are within the material scope of the Coordination Regulations. It covers the following branches of social security: sickness benefits, maternity and equivalent paternity benefits, invalidity benefits, old-age benefits, survivors' benefits, benefits in respect of accidents at work and occupational diseases, death grants, unemployment benefits, pre-retirement benefits, and family benefits. The Coordination Regulations also apply to special non-contributory cash benefits but not to social and medical assistance and certain benefits which are a compensation for damages.
This comprehensive second edition Research Handbook discusses a wide range of timely questions and dilemmas ensuing from the present state of European social security law. Presenting a kaleidoscopic concept of social security, a new generation of leading experts identifies future lines of inquiry that are likely to dominate the discourse in the coming years.
The book examines whether small jurisdictions (states) are confronted with specific issues providing social security and how to deal with these issues. How is social security law impacted by the smallness of the jurisdiction? First, the author examines the key concepts ‘small jurisdiction’ and ‘social security’ as he understands them in the present research. He then pays some attention to the relation between social security and social security law and subsequently makes an excursion to explore the notion of legal transplants. In the second part, the author first examines the main features characterizing small states according to the general literature on small states, focusing on features which may be relevant to social security. He also includes an overview of the (limited) literature dealing with the specific social security issues small jurisdictions have to deal with. In other words, the second part provides the reader with the status quaestionis. In the third part, the author takes a look at the social security systems of 20 selected small jurisdictions. He does so according to a uniform scheme, in order to facilitate their comparison. These 20 case studies allow him in a next part to test the correctness of the statements made in Part 2. In the fourth part, he compares the social security systems of the 20 small jurisdictions. He draws conclusions as to the main question, but also to test the validity of the current literature on the topic as described in Part 2. Special attention goes to the use of legal transplants for the definition of the personal scope of social security arrangements. In the concluding part of the book, the author formulates some suggestions for the benefit of the social security systems of the small jurisdictions, based on his research.
Bulletin of Comparative Labour Relations Volume 108 The progressive expansion of the phenomenon of posting of workers – the practice whereby a worker is sent for a limited period of time to another Member State in order to provide a service – is a formidable bone of contention in the conflict between a fully integrated internal market economy and Member States’ aims to protect domestic social standards. This book challenges the recently adopted Directive (EU) 957/2018, which came into effect in July 2020, by examining the relevant EU regulatory framework and investigating the actual quantitative dimension of the posting phenomenon and its real impact on the EU labour market. In the process, the author exposes a serious misalignment of the legal framework provided for by the new Directive with the EU values and principles of equality, solidarity and fair competition. Drawing on a wide variety of sources – including Court of Justice case law, Advocate Generals’ opinions, Eurostat data, Commission documents and reports, and academic literature – the author provides in-depth analyses of such elements of the problem as the following: proper definition of the concepts of ‘posting’ and ‘posted worker’ in EU law; host country’s discretion in relation to the part of domestic regulation it can impose on posted employees; misconceived clash between social rights and economic freedoms; coordination of national social security systems; proliferation of unlawful and fraudulent practices; ‘regime shopping’ and exploitation of existing regulatory loopholes; misleading association of posting with issues of ‘social dumping’ and ‘unfair competition’; orientation of political influence during the drafting process of relevant EU legislation; expected controversial economic impact of Directive (EU) 957/2018; concrete realisation of the EU values and principles of equality, solidarity and fair competition; and definition and pursuit of a ‘European social model’. Normative arguments developed in the course of the analysis put forward viable recommendations for future improvements in the field. The Union’s commitment to the development of a ‘European social model’ cannot avoid taking into account the matters of equality, solidarity and fair competition. In this sense, given the increasing prominence of the free movement of services in shaping a European labour market characterised by an ever-growing degree of mobility, this book’s analysis of the phenomenon of posting of workers may serve as a litmus test of political and legislative action at EU level. In its dual analytic and normative aspect, the book takes a giant step towards future discussions and developments in the area of intra-EU labour mobility. It will be welcomed by legal practitioners in labour and social security law and industrial relations, legal scholars, EU institutions and agencies, businesses and trade unions.
Knjiga je nadaljevanje leta 2018 izdane knjige Labour Mobility in the EU, ki je skozi prizmo različnih poklicev mobilnih delavcev ponudila vpogled v obstoječe in prihodnje izzive na področju mobilnosti delovne sile v Evropski uniji (EU). Knjiga z zbirko esejev, ki pokrivajo različne teme, perspektive in geografske kontekste, konceptualno sledi svoji predhodnici. Vendarle pa drugi del po vsebini presega prvega, saj vključuje razmišljanja, perspektive in kritične analize priznanih tujih raziskovalcev, ki naslavljajo nekatera najbolj ključna vprašanja v preseku med dinamiko trga dela v EU in vzorci čezmejne delovne mobilnosti. Deset avtorjev, ki so prispevali sedem poglavij knjige, prihaja iz štirih držav EU. Čeprav izhajajo iz različnih akademskih disciplin, so del trdno povezanega in raziskovanju predanega omrežja raziskovalcev migracij, mobilnosti in (transnacionalne) socialne zaščite v EU. Knjiga ni namenjena samo akademski publiki, ampak si želi pritegniti pozornost širšega občinstva, predvsem pa spodbuditi k poglobljenim in navdihujočim razpravam o izzivih delovne mobilnosti v EU.
This study, prepared by Policy Department A at the request of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, provides a picture on current developments in the area of social security coordination in the EU. It assesses the functioning of coordination rules in areas targeted by the amendment proposal from the European Commission, and evaluates the proposal’s possible effects. The study highlights how some of the proposed changes could potentially impact fundamental principles of social security coordination and free movement law, such as the equal treatment principle.
