Loacker named Switzerland and the Netherlands as role models and wanted to use the results of three social security studies as a guide. Loacker also proposed to have a detailed study of the differences in cash benefits performed.On the part of the government parties Laurenz Pottinger OVP countered that balancing risk structures in Germany creates problems. The application was adjourned with the votes of the OVP and the Greens which related to a constitutional decision from 2004. Markus Koza Greens also mentioned this decision as the reason for the adjournment whereby a structural adjustment seemed sensible. Koza was also interested in the study required by NEOS but this affected the competences of the countries he explained the postponement.Receiving the same benefits for the same contributions is a question of justice argued Philip Kucher SPO and campaigned for cooperation on the constitutional issue. Dagmar Belakowitsch from the FPO also showed little understanding for the postponements especially since there is no free choice of insurance in Austria and there is no competition between the insurance companies. For Gabriela Schwarz OVP the focus was currently on performance harmonization. The applications were postponed with the votes of the VP and the Greens.
