"Mr President, I cannot begin without congratulating the Commissioner, the Commission services, the Council and Mr Cabrnoch for the excellent work that has enabled us to reach a solution to the debate on updating this regulation; we have been able to do so at first reading and therefore, the benefits will be felt immediately.
As others have already done, I would like to mention that although this is an annual exercise, on this occasion, there are two significant differences. Firstly, the new Article 65, which grants unemployment benefits to frontier workers, who did not previously receive them; this will be reviewed within two years to make further improvements. Secondly, and above all, the new mention made in Article 11 of the ‘home base’ criterion, which gives legal certainty to aircrew members and clearly determines the applicable legislation, with the notion of ‘home base’ as a criterion, which already exists in the regulation.
I would like to use the last few seconds to remind my colleagues and public opinion that, with Europe so often in the firing line now, today is a clear example of the way in which Europe can benefit and improve the lives of millions of workers who, thanks to this coordination of social security systems, will reach retirement age or find themselves unemployed but fully covered thanks to the cooperation between EU Member States. This is possible because of the European Union and the European social model which, unlike what someone from the Council said, is very much alive and should improve day by day, because that is what the people call for and that is what Parliament has today shown to be possible."@en1
