Social security for migrant workers – Equal treatment

(Art. 39(2) EC; Art. 3(1) of Council Regulation No 1408/71)

Summary

The principle of equal treatment as laid down in Article 39(2) EC and Article 3(1) of Regulation No 1408/71 precludes national legislation under which the competent institution of the Member State of residence denies unemployment benefits to a national of another Member State on the ground that, on the date when the benefit claim was submitted, the person concerned had not completed a specified period of employment in that Member State of residence, whereas there is no such requirement for nationals of that Member State.
