1996/0004(COD)
In adopting the report by Mrs Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN (EPP, NL) Parliament approved this proposal
for a regulation with the following amendments:
- a wholly unemployed person who goes to another Member State in order to seek employment or
undergo training must be able to retain his entitlement to benefits under the conditions laid down in
Article 69 a and 69b of the regulation,
- introduction of a derogation for Belgium: the unemployed person who returns to this country after
having invoked the possibilities offered by this regulation shall not requalify for benefits until he has
been employed in that country for at least three months,
- restriction of the derogation granted to Luxembourg to five instead of ten years.
