Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament concerning the common position of the Council on the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Social Fund

Summary:

The objective of the proposal for an implementing Regulation is to complete the process of modernising the existing rules in this field, thus replacing the current implementing Regulation. It aims, in particular, to define for all the parties involved (insured persons, their employers, social security institutions and the competent authorities of the Member States) the procedures for implementing the rules set out in the basic Regulation (EC) No 883/2004. The proposal is based on Articles 42 and 308 of the EC Treaty and requires unanimity.
