SOCIAL SECURITY COORDINATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: Social security coordination in the EU aims to ensure that every EU citizen and non-EU national residing in the EU has fair access to social security, regardless of the Member State in which they reside. At the heart of the idea of social security coordination is to ensure equal treatment within the EU for workers and persons moving across Europe under different national social security systems. In fact, this seeks to “deterritorialize” the implementation of national social security systems in order to ensure a basic prerequisite for the free and unhindered movement of persons within the EU. The law on social security coordination in the EU is the sum of all primary and secondary legal provisions, rules and principles aimed at removing social security barriers that could prevent an individual from exercising his or her right to freedom of movement. It is also a set of rules for determining which social security system applies, in order to prevent workers who change countries of work from paying social security contributions twice or from finding themselves between two systems, and thus being deprived of any form of social security. In this paper, we will talk more about the sources of law in the EU in this area and some specific aspects of this issue.
