π Tender Overview
Negotiations are also still ongoing at EU level on a proposal for a regulation by the EU Commission from 2016 which aims to improve the coordination of the social systems of EU countries and concerns among other things the cross-border granting of unemployment benefits family allowances and long-term care benefits.More than a dozen trilogue negotiations between the Commission the European Parliament and Member States have so far been unsuccessful.Only in the case of care services an agreement in principle has been reached so far according to the report.Austria can imagine removing particularly controversial points such as the payment of unemployment benefits to cross-border commuters from the package but sees no willingness on the part of the Commission to withdraw its proposal or resubmit it in a modified form.
