Man foreslår et system, ifølge hvilket en arbejdsløs, der modtager arbejdsløshedsydelse, og som ønsker at flytte for at finde arbejde - eller i nogle tilfælde for at følge sin ægtefælle - bevarer retten til ydelser i de tre første måneder i henhold til lovgivningen i den kompetente stat, dvs. den stat, hvor han senest har været beskæftiget.
A system is proposed whereby an unemployed person who is in receipt of unemployment benefit and wishes to go to another Member State to look for work - or to accompany his or her spouse - will, for the first three months, retain his or her entitlement to benefits under the legislation of the competent state, namely the Member State in which he or she was last employed.
