"I agree with the rapporteur that we urgently need common rules that would guarantee access to social benefits without penalising European workers who take advantage of the right of free movement. This issue is particularly important for the majority of Lithuanians. I believe that self-employed Lithuanians who have the right to receive unemployment benefit in the country where they are working should also receive it when they have returned to Lithuania. This is essential for encouraging young and talented Lithuanians to return home. The report also mentions a greater problem that is currently affecting Lithuania. The Lithuanian State Social Insurance Fund Board (SODRA) urgently needs to be completely restructured. Like the majority of Lithuanian state institutions, unprofitable spending has also weakened SODRA. This is a serious problem because last year, SODRA accounted for almost 70% of Lithuania’s national budget. According to media reports, nine out of ten SODRA branches in Lithuania are formally bankrupt. Analysis of the regional branches has revealed that 90% of the regions have more pensioners than working people. Revenue received in the poorest regions of Lithuania represents less than 40% of the amount needed to pay pensions."@en1
