lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is annoying that the Commissioner has not yet managed to get here to hear what we have to say on the subject, because Parliament, guided by the rapporteur, has followed closely the positions of the Member States on the coordination of social security systems in cross-border cases. The free mobility of the labour force and the right of the citizen of a country to seek work in another Member State are essentially positive things for the internal market. However, it also poses challenges for the Member States, to ensure, on the one hand, that people do not fall between the social security systems of the countries in which they live and work, and, on the other, to prevent abuse of social security and unemployment benefit systems. This regulation will not, therefore, be a way to harmonise social security systems, but will mainly update the rules on coordination, so that they reflect the changes to the law in Member States. The regulation will clarify the legislation to be applied in cases where someone works for several employers in different Member States. The applicable legislation would be determined with reference to the main job, because it is in no one’s interest constantly to amend the applicable legislation on the basis of the periods of work that they are involved in. Perhaps the most controversial issue of all in the amending regulation relates to the export of the unemployment benefit of self-employed persons, in other words, to the notion that unemployed entrepreneurs can collect unemployment benefit in the country in which they work, even if no such unemployment benefit system exists in their country of residence. Fortunately, that original proposal by the Commission was improved in deliberations by the Council and Parliament, with the result that unemployment benefit only applies to genuine frontier workers who, in the main, go back to the country of residence from the country in which they work every day, or at least once a week, and who are at the disposal of the labour market in the country in which they work. In the same way too, the country in which they work is to determine the conditions for unemployment benefit. It is important that we return to this subject in two years’ time and re-examine whether this is causing problems between Member States."@en1
