The European Commission has published the 2010 annual reports on Your Europe Advice and SOLVIT, two services that help European citizens and businesses understand and defend their rights in the EU. In 2010, Your Europe Advice received 12,000 questions from citizens asking about their rights, for example their health insurance or unemployment benefit entitlements when going to live and work abroad. This represents a 15% increase from the previous year. SOLVIT provided over 1300 practical and timely solutions to citizens and businesses who encountered administrative obstacles, such as getting professional qualifications recognised in another Member State so they could work there. Both of these services have enabled thousands of European citizens and businesses to benefit from the opportunities afforded by the Single Market. |
