".
I welcome the adoption of this Common Position, in an area in which Community provisions have already enabled millions of European citizens to enjoy social protection when they move around the EU.
The Common Position simplifies and updates the legal framework – Regulation 1408/71 – thereby broadening its material and personal scope. The principles of equal working conditions and of exported benefits are both strengthened. The Regulation will apply to all those citizens of the Member States covered by the social security legislation of a given Member State. It offers protection to salaried workers, to self-employed workers, civil servants, students, pensioners, and those who do not pursue an activity. Furthermore, it improves the chances of people without jobs – including unemployed frontier workers – finding work in another Member State.
The difficulties that arose at first reading centred on the approval of two amendments concerning tax harmonisation and an unacceptable definition of the family. The Council also rejected these two amendments. I therefore support the final Common Position."@en1
