Jonathan Todd at Citizens’ Corner debate on social security rights and looking for a job in another EU country

On Tuesday (23.09.2014), Euranet Plus staged a Citizens’ Corner debate on social security rights and looking for a job in another EU country at the European Parliament in Brussels. The aim was to provide information on the rights enjoyed by EU citizens, and also to reveal gaps which may remain between the applicable rules and regulations and the reality of citizens’ daily lives, particularly in cross-border situations. The debate provided the opportunity for open dialogue, contributing to new insights between all those involved.

 

 

The debate, already the ninth in the Citizens’ Corner series, was produced in partnership with Polskie Radio, a member of the Euranet Plus network, and was moderated by Brian Maguire of the Euranet Plus News Agency. The second part of the debate in English featured student journalists from Finland (Tampere) and Poland (Warsaw) of the Euranet Plus campus radio network and the following guests:

 

Jonathan Todd, spokesperson of László Andor, EU commissioner for employment, social Affairs and inclusion

MEP Janusz Lewandowski, Poland, Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), former European Commissioner for Financial Programming and Budget

MEP Ulla Tørnæs, Denmark, Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, vice chair of the employment & social affairs committee

Christa Schweng, president of the Labour Market Observatory of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)
