"Trying to exercise one’s rights as a mobile worker within the European Union is often an obstacle course, even though free movement of persons and the right to work anywhere in the EU are enshrined as fundamental rights of all European citizens. I therefore consider the adoption of new EU rules on the coordination of social security systems to be a good thing, provided that they genuinely guarantee nationals of a given country and EU citizens travelling to that country to work equal access to social security systems. There are two new provisions that I feel are a step in the right direction. The concept of ‘home base’ has been introduced in order to give aircrew members social security rights. Air stewards and hostesses will now come under the social security system of the country in which they start and end their duty period. In addition, access for self-employed frontier workers to unemployment benefits has finally been clarified, something for which we have been calling for a long time. This means that self-employed workers will now be able to claim unemployment benefits in the country in which they have been working if no such system exists in their frontier Member State of residence."@en1
