- The Regulations 883/2004 & 987/2009
Labour law and EU-mobility:
- The applicable labour law in EU in cross border situations
- Rome 1 Regulation & Posting Workers Directive
Social policy issues
- Regime competition and social dumping
Coordination of European Social Security
- Regulation 883/2004 & 987/2009
- Every MS has his own system of social
security no harmonisation on national
- European social security is on top of the
national level when different EU countries
are involved cross-border situations
Difference between coordination and harmonisation
- Coordination keeps the national law unchanged regulation
- Harmonisation wanted to have a shared level (for example: minimum wage)
- There is no definition in regulation, in TFEU, by CJEU
- Territoriality principle of social security
o Every country has the authority to make social security law, this law is in line with the
territory of the country
o Dutch law is only for the Dutch people
o It is very logical to start with; however, it is a hinder for free movement because
Dutch law is only for Dutch people
- Negative conflicts of law – positive conflicts of law
o State pension between Belgium and the Netherlands
Belgium Netherlands
Working in Belgium Living in NL
1. Anna is working in Belgium and living in the Netherlands, so she gets a
combined pension positive conflict
2. Peter is living in Belgium and working in the Netherlands, so he gets no pension
at all negative conflict
o To avoid these situations, we needed more legislation and coordination
, - National and international rules of conflict
- Other forms of coordination: bilateral (between two EU countries), multilateral (between
one EU country and one non-EU country), tax treaties
Legal foundation
1. Art. 48 TFEU
The EP & Council shall, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, adopt
such measures in the field of social security as are necessary to provide freedom of
movement for workers; to this end, they shall decide to secure for employed and self-
employed migrant workers and their dependants
2. Art. 45 TFEU
Freedom of movement of workers / no discrimination on nationality
Concept
Unclearness of a term or concept in relation to the regulation?
- CJEU: preliminary rulings (Art. 267 TFEU)
- Legal force of the rulings of the CJEU
- However, free movement of worker should be guaranteed
Main principles/techniques of coordination:
- Non-discrimination/equal treatment: equal treatment (Art. 45 TFEU)
- Payments of benefits abroad/export of benefits
- Aggregation of periods
- Determination of applicable legislation
- Pro rata temporis (ratio worktime)
- Pension unique: you get a pension from every country where you have worked
- Anti-cumulation of benefits: you don’t get the same kind of benefits from different countries
at the same time
- Cross border care
- One is the basis regulation (BR), one is the implication (IR)
- In 2004 the regulation 883 was made, however ten countries joined the EU, therefore it was
hard to make the implication regulation
- The idea of these regulations was to make it shorter and easier to understand, however they
forget some rules and therefore there was a new regulation in 2012
,Regulations 883/2004 & 987/2009 Conditions for Applicability
- At least 2 Member States involved cross border element
- Territorial scope (Art. 91) 28 EU MS + Liechtenstein, Island, Norwegian and
Switzerland
