More social security rights for legal non-EU nationals

The EU's Employment and Social Affairs Ministers agreed on 3 December to modernise and coordinate the Member States' social security systems for migrant workers. They adopted a set of 12 parameters defining the options to modernise regulation (EEC) No 1408/71. This modernisation will allow legal non-EU nationals to move more freely within the EU without losing their social security rights.
