It is simply untrue that family members are excluded from provisions and benefits in the country of employment.

Mrs Oomen takes the country of employment as the guiding principle.

I think there is a whole raft of arguments in favour of the country of employment.

We must, at long last, opt for one levy principle, either in the country of residence or the country of employment.

I believe that it is not so evident that the country of employment principle always works in the interests of, and benefits, the frontier workers.

We suggest using the principle of the country of employment as point of departure, and to develop this so-called European social model.

We will happily consider, however, any proposal that stable recognised partnerships qualify if home countries recognise or if a country of employment recognises them.

On the one hand, these workers have to deal with the regulations of two different countries: their country of employment and their country of residence.

Reason enough to plead for a homogeneous application of the country of residence or country of employment principle for both systems.

What I have noticed is that the regulation on social security, No 1408, also applies to workers who decide to move to the country of employment and actually live there.

It is important to frontier workers that there should be no tampering with the principle that income taxes and welfare contributions are payable in the country of employment.

Furthermore, this right should extend to frontier workers when they are retired or not in employment, always being based on their professional activities in their country of employment.

Rules of taxation have left the Scanian municipalities with increased costs not covered by increased tax revenues from the growing commuter population mainly taxed in the country of employment.

This is the prerequisite if frontier workers are to enjoy all the social benefits that are granted in the country of employment to workers who reside there and to their dependants.

Moreover, we have not sorted out a problem that occurs where a social security system is subject to the country of employment principle, but tax legislation is not in step with it.

On this subject it is sufficient to ensure respect for the principle by which it is appropriate to consolidate, in the country of employment, the payment of social contributions and income tax.

There will be no more payments in the national currency of the country of employment, which is currently the case for 76 % of the ECU 2 700 million in administrative expenditure.

I myself felt that the country of employment principle best responded to the existing social security arrangements, on the one hand, and to the general principle of double taxation agreements on the other hand.

However, if your workers have an A1 form from their normal country of employment, you will have to deduct social security contributions in accordance with the rules of their home country instead of NICs.

Firstly, a user does not have to hold a bank account to receive money via Luup, which means that workers can be paid directly to their mobile phone without needing to get a bank account in their country of employment.

In the social security context the definition used is the one applicable in the country of origin, whilst in the employment context the definition applied to seconded workers is that applicable in the country of employment.

By the seventeenth century piracy and privateering became less of an acceptable behaviour, especially because many privateers turned into full blown pirates because they did not have to give part of the profit they made back to their country of employment.

In the meantime, in order to improve the situation of frontier workers, they and their families should be able to choose, in each of these areas, between their country of residence and their country of employment, according to the situation most favourable to them.

I would point out that only 'the country of employment principle' is referred to in the paragraph, when it should read 'the country of residence or employment principle' because of course I cannot determine what choice the Commission has to make, it must do that for itself.

Apparently some minds are not ready for that, Commissioner, so we ask the Commission to make a detailed examination of the advantages and disadvantages of the possible choices of country of employment or residence principle and to present a proposal to Parliament on the basis of that.
