".
The EU must not only be an area of free movement of capital, products and services. Europe must also provide the opportunity for its citizens to live, work and move freely, without prejudice to their rights. Regulation 1408/71 plays an important role in meeting this objective. I therefore voted in favour of this recommendation for a second reading on the Council common position.
Regulation 1408/71, which entered into force over thirty years ago, defines the basis on which benefits are to be provided to citizens who move from one Member State to another.
The revision of the current regulation contains several new provisions aimed at enhancing social security rights and makes it possible to ascertain whether the citizen remains entitled to specific benefits provided for by their Member State of origin, and which are therefore exportable, or whether an equivalent benefit is available in the citizen's new Member State of residence.
I regret, however, that the Council did not accept the inclusion of five benefits for people with disabilities and their families, which should be taken into account at the next revision of the regulation."@en1
