The European Social Insurance Partners (ESIP) recently published a joint position paper regarding the proposal from the European Commission for a directive about "Services in the Internal Market" of 13 January 2004.
In the opinion of the European Social Insurance Partners, the proposed Directive should be subject to critical review, so that
it is more in line with national social systems, whose design is a matter entirely for the member states to decide, and
it fits in better with the fabric of existing EU directives and regulations.
The full document is attached to this article.
