Social security: employed, self employed persons and families

Pending the European Parliament's opinion, the Council reached a general approach on a draft Regulation amending Regulation 1408/711/EEC on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community (miscellaneous amendments 2005).

The draft Regulation is intended to update Regulation 1408/71/EEC and its annexes to reflect changes in the legal situation at national level, thus ensuring proper Community coordination of national social security schemes.
