Question 39119 — cross-border workers

Summary

Mrs Marion Lenne draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the reform of the European modalities of the unemployment compensation system for cross-border workers. Since May 2010, for the countries of the European Union and since April 2012 for Switzerland, Community Regulation EC No. 883/2004 provides that compensation for cross-border workers during periods of unemployment falls to their State of residence. Then requires the State of last employment to reimburse the State of residence the amount of allowances paid within a certain limit. In 2016, the European Commission proposed a revision of the regulations relating to the coordination of social security: concerning unemployment compensation, the modifications mainly concern the determination of the Member State responsible for paying unemployment benefits to workers border crossers. According to its December 2018 report, the additional cost of cross-border workers for the National Interprofessional Union for Employment in Industry and Commerce (UNEDIC) would amount to approximately 708 million euros in 2017, of which 74% is attributable to Switzerland. A new system adopted in March 2019 by the European institutions provides that, from 2021, unemployed cross-border workers will be supported by the country where they have worked and no longer by the one where they reside. France largely supported this reform, which will ultimately save hundreds of millions in unemployment insurance. However, this reform did not concern Switzerland. This is why she asks him where the negotiations are going.
