7 Introduction Article 91 of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 states that statistical data concerning the application of basic Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and implementing Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 shall be collected by the competent institutions in the Member States under the supervision of the Administrative Commission. These statistical data should allow Member States and the European Commission to assess the functioning of both regulations and to suggest improvements. Despite the importance of good data in order to monitor EU law, a remarkable lack of statistical data is observed. The initiative to install an Ad-hoc Group on Statistics was an important step forward to collect statistical data concerning the Coordination Regulation on a more permanent basis. The launch of questionnaires related to the use of PD A1 (posted workers), the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card Health insurance), PD U2 (export of unemployment benefits) and PD S2 (planned care) by the Administrative Commission is very useful to collect administrative information at EU level on a permanent basis. Also the analysis of Structured Electronic Documents (SEDs) should be considered as an interesting opportunity to collect more data. However, this implies the launch of the electronic exchange system (EESSI). Furthermore, also other administrative (e.g. Audit Board Report, 2012 Ageing Report, Eurostat Migration Statistics) and survey (e.g. Labour Force Survey - LFS) sources on EU level should offer statistical information. The collection of administrative data within the framework of the Administrative Commission is of high importance to gain insight in specific matters of the Coordination Regulation. The questionnaire on the use of the PD A1 (posted workers) as well the questionnaire on the use of the EHIC can be considered as permanent surveys. Member States are already familiar with these surveys and most of the questions are answered by the competent institutions. Questionnaires on the use of PD U2 (export of unemployment benefits) and PD S2 (planned care) are newly (re)introduced. A lower response rate to these questionnaires could be expected. National administrations need to adapt their registrations and reporting to comply with those requirements. This requires a certain time. The production of those statistics needs to grow to maturity. However, also these questionnaires should become permanent. The relaunch of the questionnaire relating to the E112/S2 form, previously completed in years , proves the need of this kind of surveys in order to gain a better quantitative knowledge. Some of the social security branches are not yet covered by the questionnaires launched within the framework of the Administrative Commission. Most social security branches are strongly related to specific documents (E-forms, SEDs and Portable Documents). At this moment, the questionnaires issued within the framework of the Administrative Commission focus on the counting of Portable Documents. To continue this exercise also the number of Portable Documents S1 (Registering for health care cover), S3 (Medical treatment for former crossborder worker in former country of work), U1 (Periods to be taken into account for granting unemployment benefits), U3 (Circumstances likely to affect the entitlement to unemployment benefits), DA1 (Entitlement to health care cover under insurance against Accidents at work and Occupational Diseases), P1 (Summary of Pension Decisions) could be counted by launching additional questionnaires. 7

8 Also data collected outside the framework of the Administrative Commission is of high relevance. In case the administrative data collection is not yet organised by an annual questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission, some interesting indicators could be collected on the basis of other administrative data or survey data. By integrating more specific variables in permanent surveys (e.g. LFS or SILC) or in administrative data (e.g. Eurostat Migration Statistics) more variables can be counted by using these sources. Again, it is only by using them, that they can be further developed and improved. In the interim report 1, the activities and steps undertaken to define a first list of horizontal and branch specific key indicators are described in detail. It should be read in conjunction with this final report. This report provides a list of indicators, described in detail, which could be used to assess the functioning of Regulations (EC) Nos 883/2004 and 987/2009. We have limited ourselves to describing more general indicators. Our first ambition is to obtain a view on the number of persons involved (by social security scheme) and on the budgetary impact. To assess the functioning of the Regulations in detail more specific indicators will be needed. This will/should, however, be a next step in the data collection. Appendix 3, which provides a limited overview of existing data, should stimulate Member States to read, interpret, correct and use these data, but also to make them available for all EEA countries and Switzerland. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink 1 Pacolet, J. & De Wispelaere, F. with input from Hajdu, J. & Berki, G.

9 1 Revision of the indicators presented in the interim report 1.1 Introduction In 2012 an Ad-hoc Group on Statistics was set up to investigate the type of statistical data that should be collected. The Ad-hoc Group is composed of experts nominated by the Member States 2 as well as designated legal and statistical experts from the tress network. Different steps were taken by the Ad-hoc Group to propose a first draft of indicators: Assessment of the source driven indicators, especially based on the report on Statistics for the evaluation of the Coordination Regulation (see note 612/11) 3. The proposal and assessment of feasible new needs driven indicators by the members of the Ad-hoc Groups, also by exploring ideas received from other institutions within their Member State. Consultation of other experts: the members of the SED Ad-hoc Groups were consulted by means of a web survey. The aim was to explore their ideas on useful indicators and how the data that will be circulated via the SEDs and flows could be exploited in the future for the possible collection of statistical data once EESSI is operational. Meetings with DG EMPL experts were also organised. Analysis of the legal base: the tress statistical and legal experts went through basic Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 article by article and selected those which could serve as a basis to identify a relevant indicator. The members of the Ad-hoc Group were then asked to make an assessment of this detailed analysis of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004. Analysis of relevant documents and questionnaires by the tress experts, notably: - Administrative Commission Recommendation No 16 of 12 December 1984, which gives an overview of the data that should be collected by the national competent institutions of the different Member States, by social security branch. Most of these indicators are still very relevant; - the questionnaires on the use of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC); - the questionnaire on the collection of statistical data on E101/A1 certificates; 2 In accordance with note 130/12REV2 for nominations, the expert group is composed of experts from Germany, France, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy and Finland. For an overview of the members of the Ad-hoc Group on Statistics see Appendix 4. 3 A statistical report from tress was presented at the 329th meeting of the Administrative Commission on December 2011 (see note 612/11). This report, Statistics for the evaluation of the Coordination Regulation (Cantillon, B., Mussche, N., Van den Heede, A., Corluy, V.) provides an overview of available statistics that could be relevant for assessing the functioning of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and provides some first proposals of indicators. 9

10 - the questionnaire on the use of planned health care (E112) (see note 223/08); - the Audit Board reports which give a good overview of the total amounts of sickness claims but do not provide more detailed information on the concerned indicators; - Administrative Commission Decision No 208 of 11 March 2008 concerning the establishment of a common framework for the collection of data on the settlement of pension claims expresses the intention to collect key data on the processing and settlement of old-age pension claims in order to improve knowledge concerning the situation in each Member State. The indicators focus on the performance of the clearing and settlement process. Based on these activities, the tress experts proposed a first draft list of indicators, presented in an interim report 4. Fifty-nine specific branch indicators and horizontal indicators were proposed, 36 of which were either included in current questionnaires, ESSPROS or asked in a questionnaire related to a study for an impact assessment for the revision of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, more specific on unemployment and long-term care 5 (summarized in Appendix 1 a1.1). For all these 36 indicators their feasibility and for most of them also the result is known. Twenty-three indicators were not yet captured in one of these sources. The feasibility of these indicators, the methodology to be used for their collection and a roadmap for the collection of data related to them needed to be investigated further. 1.2 Revision by the Administrative Commission Note AC 055/13 informed and consulted the Administrative Commission on the interim report prepared by the Ad-hoc Group on Statistics on the collection of statistical data concerning the application of Regulations (EU) Nos 883/2004 and 987/2009. The Administrative Commission was asked to give feedback on the proposed indicators. Input was received from seven Member States (the Netherlands, Finland, Estonia, Austria, Poland, Romania and Spain). Their input is summarised in Appendix 1 a Revision by the Ad-hoc Group on Statistics The Ad-hoc Group on Statistics and the tress experts were asked to finalise the list of indicators. The ambition was to develop a comprehensive methodology for the collection of related data and to build a roadmap for the collection of data which is not currently available. An Excel template was developed by the tress experts including all different indicators summarised by social security branch. This template, which includes all indicators from the final report, could be used to collect statistical data on a national level and/or to summarise the collected data (see Appendix 2). The Ad-hoc Group on Statistics was asked to try out these indicators listed (especially the new proposed indicators). The aim of this exercise was to check and evaluate the feasibility of these indicators. The Ad-hoc Group on Statistics was asked to give input on: - the definition of the indicator (Is this clear enough? Are adjustments possibly needed? Etc); - the explanation about how to collect data and how to understand the different variables (Which E-forms, Portable Documents and Structured Electronic Documents do we have to use to collect information about this indicator? How is it to be assured that all data are collected in a similar way by the Member States? Etc); 4 Pacolet J. & De Wispelaere, F. with input from Hajdu, J. & Berki, G. (2013), Collection of statistical data concerning the application of Regulations (EC) Nos 883/2004 and 987/2009 Statistical Report 2012 Interim Report, tress. 5 A data collection was organised in 14 Member States by national experts contacting the concerned administrations: Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxemburg, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Estonia (see Deloitte HIVA report, 2013). 10

11 - the understanding of the table (Is the structure of the table clear enough? Etc); - other remarks concerning specific indicators, redundancy, suggestions for simplifications, further examples of good practice; - to provide national data already available. Input was received from seven members of the Ad-hoc Group on Statistics. Their input is summarised in Appendix 1 a1.3. Also, comments were received on the first draft of the final report together with additional, supporting statistical information 6. These additional comments and statistics have been inserted in the final report. 1.4 Revision by the SED Ad-hoc Groups The interim report was circulated among the SED Ad-hoc Groups. They were asked to investigate whether and how the proposed data could be collected at a later stage based on the information exchanged via the SEDs for part of the already collected statistics as well as for the new ones. Especially, they were asked to refer to specific SEDs able to collect data on a specific indicator. Input was received from the SED Ad-hoc Groups Family benefits, Pensions 7 and Unemployment Benefits. Their input is summarised in Appendix 1 a General conclusion The input from the Administrative Commission, the Ad-hoc Group on Statistics and the SED Adhoc Groups enabled us to draw up a final list of indicators. The most common remarks were: - For some indicators, data are not yet available or have not yet been collected on a national level. It will cause a considerable administrative burden (workload, new software etc) to collect some of the new proposed indicators. Member States refer to the launch of EESSI to collect new proposed indicators. - It is important to explain the reason for the collection of a specific indicator. Also, feedback is asked on the results of the data collection. - The definition of some indicators is unclear. - Additional remarks on the content of the indicators. In answer to these remarks, for each of the indicators: 6 Comments on the first draft of the final report were received from Austria, Germany, Poland and France. Additional statistical information was delivered by France, Germany and Poland. Also, suggestions to improve the final report were received from DG EMPL UNIT B4 and the tress legal experts. 7 The SED Ad-hoc Pensions suggested to insert specific indicators related to the number of flows of each flow type per country and the average, shortest and longest processing time per flow type. The processing time would be calculated from the moment of opening a flow to the closing of a flow or to the exchange of a specific SED within the flow structure. The authors did not insert these suggested indicators in the final list of proposed indicators. The Adhoc Group on Statistics did not have the ambition to define specific performance indicators. These indicators need to be further developed and investigated within the context of the implementation of EESSI. This is only possible after a thorough discussion which was not feasible within this research project. It supposes a new consultation of the Ad-hoc group on Statistics but certainly also the SEDs Ad-hoc groups. 11

12 - a road map is provided (collection of the indicator in the short, medium, and long term); - the objective of the indicators is explained; - the indicator is explained in more detail. 12

13 2 Final list of indicators 8 The mandate of the Ad-hoc Group on Statistics describes the following activities (AC 017/12): - Set out five to ten horizontal key indicators and for each branch of social security three to five specific key indicators. - Propose the methodology to collect these key indicators (survey data, administrative data, EESSI). The indicators are relevant for the EEA and for Switzerland. 9 Each key indicator 10 has to include: - a classification of the objective; - a short descriptive definition of the indicator (how it is built, methodological limits if any); - specified sources (availability of the indicator, frequency of collection if mechanisms are already in place). 2.1 Summary 8 Atkinsion et al (Social Indicators. The EU and Social Inclusion, 2002, p ) describe six principles that should be applied to indicators: - An indicator should identify the essence of the problem and have a clear and accepted normative interpretation. - An indicator should be robust and statistically validated. - An indicator should be responsive to effective policy interventions but not subject to manipulation. - An indicator should be measurable in a sufficiently comparable way across Member States. - An indicator should be timely and susceptible to revision. - The measurement of an indicator should not impose too large a burden on Member States. 9 The indicators refer most of the time to Member States. This involves the EEA and Switzerland. 10 Some of the listed indicators will contain different sub-indicators: e.g. the number of involved persons as well as the related amount; or the number of involved persons for the most recent year as well as the total number of involved persons. 13

19 2.2 A detailed explanation of the selected indicators 19

20 2.2.1 Applicable legislation Indicator 1: Applicable legislation - Number of certificates concerning the Social Security legislation which applies to the holder Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of PD A1/E101 certificates issued by the reporting country during the reference period (YEAR) Breakdown by: - posted workers (by receiving country); - international transport; - active in two or more Member States; - other agreement. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: We refer to the strengths and weaknesses reported in the most recent report on A1 portable documents (EC, 2012, p. 25): The A1 data collection fills an important information gap concerning the posting of workers. To our knowledge, it is still the only source which allows for a comparable overview of the number of postings across EU-Member States. DG Employment therefore recommends continuing this exercise in the future and plans next data collection exercise in 2014 to cover years 2012 and Based on the free movement to provide services and the freedom of establishment, posted workers and self-employed persons could enter the old Member States despite the restrictions on the free movement of workers ( front door - back door principle ). This could imply a limited number of migrant and cross-border workers entering the labour market of the old Member States during the transitional period, but a high number of posted workers and self-employed persons entering these Member States. This transitional period is currently applicable to Croatia, which joined the European Union on 1 July The number of posted workers could be compared with the number of migrant workers (during and after the transitional period). Methodology: Collected by the A1/E101 questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.1 20

21 Indicator 2: Applicable legislation - Number of unique persons who received a certificate concerning the Social Security legislation which applies to the holder Descriptive definition of the indicator: The unique number of persons who received a PD A1/E101 form from the reporting country during the reference period (YEAR). Posted workers who received more than one PD A1/E101 certificate during the reference period are only counted one time. Posted workers who are posted for a period longer than 12 months but not longer than 24 months are counted one time in the first year (= reference period) and one time in the second year (= reference period + 1). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: Measuring the impact of the posting of workers on the national labour market by counting the number of posted workers and not forms. The number of posted workers during the reference year could be compared to national employment. It also gives a first impression on the posting period (by number of unique persons / number of certificates issued). Methodology: * Short term: This indicator could be added to the A1/E101 questionnaire. * Medium term: To verify if the number of PD A1 issued (or number of unique posted workers) is a good proxy of the actual number of postings, an indicator on this issue could be included in the questionnaire of the LFS. However, also this indicator could be an underestimation. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.2. Within LIMOSA, Belgium is capable to count the number of reported forms/persons, but also the number of unique persons. Table a3.4 (France). 21

22 Indicator 3: Applicable legislation - Number of certificates concerning the Social Security legislation which applies to the holder by sector of economic activity (NACE) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of PD A1/E101 certificates issued by sector of economic activity (NACE) during the reference period (YEAR). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: This indicator should measure the impact of the posting of workers by economic activity. We refer to the strengths and weaknesses reported in the most recent report on A1 portable documents (EC, 2012, p. 25): A structural analysis of the labour market impact of postings is prevented by the lack of sectoral breakdown for the data of the main sending countries and a general lack of detail by economic activity. While postings tend to concentrate on a few specific activities (e.g. construction), the available data are not detailed enough to allow any deeper analysis. Methodology: Collected by the A1/E101 questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a

23 Indicator 4: Applicable legislation - Duration and hours worked by persons who received a certificate concerning the Social Security legislation which applies to them Descriptive definition of the indicator: The average duration of the posting of workers (in days) and the average daily hours worked during the reference period (YEAR). Ideally, a breakdown by economic activity OR by receiving country is available. Period of observation: YEAR Type: AVERAGE Objective of the indicator: Measuring the impact of the posting of workers on the national labour market by comparing FTEs 11. At this moment only the number of PD A1 certificates are counted, which is not a good indicator to calculate the impact on the national labour market. To calculate the number of posted FTEs, the duration of postings and the hours worked should be known. We refer to the strengths and weaknesses reported in the most recent report on A1 portable documents (EC, 2012, p. 25): At a more methodological level, the available data only provide the number of PD A1 certificates issued in each country, but do not contain any information on the duration of postings or the hours worked. In other words, the present data are not really an indicator for labour input. It is therefore not possibly to use these figures to calculate the impact of postings on the level and structure of employment and wages in the sending and receiving countries. Methodology: * Short term: This indicator could be added to the A1/E101 questionnaire. E.g. a theoretical duration could be calculated based on the reported starting date and the ending date in the E101 form (point 5.2) or PD A1 (point 2.2 Starting date and point 2.3 Ending date ). * Medium or long term: If an indicator on the number of posted workers is included in the questionnaire of the LFS, also a view on the duration of employment will be obtained. OR A specific questionnaire could be launched related to the posted workers. One could ask them the duration of posting and the weekly/daily hours worked. * Long term: EESSI: From the body of SED A009 Notification of Posting the theoretical duration could be obtained by selecting point Starting date and point Ending date. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.4. (France) 11 FTE: Full-time equivalent. 23

24 2.2.2 Sickness benefits 1) Residence in a Member State other than the competent Member State Indicator 5 and 5bis: Sickness benefits - Number of persons insured to sickness benefits who reside in a Member State other than the competent Member State (=number of PD S1 forms issued/received) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The ambition should be to count the number of persons who are insured for sickness benefits and who live in a Member State other than the competent Member State. If possible, the status of the person for whom an entitlement document is issued should be delivered. The number of new insured persons (PD S1 forms issued/received during the reference period) and the stock of insured persons (total number of PD S1 forms issued/received to people who still reside in a Member State other than the competent Member State) is asked. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) and TOTAL (STOCK) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: To obtain a view on the number of persons insured in a Member State other than the Member State of residence. This number could be compared with the number of insured persons on national level. The breakdown by status is interesting for different reasons. For example, the number of PD S1 issued to pensioners could be compared to the number of migrant pensioners (Eurostat Migration Statistics) OR to the number of old-age benefits paid to persons residing in another Member State. Methodology: This detail is available from the E106 form (insured person), E109 form (family member of insured person), E121 form (pensioner and family member of pensioner) OR the PD S1 form (insured person, pensioner, pension claimant, family member of insured person, family member of pensioner) OR the SED S072 (Entitlement document - residence). Reference period = YEAR (and TOTAL). * Short term: To estimate the number of persons insured in a Member State other than the country of residence by category (cross-border workers (and their family members), retired cross-border workers (and their family members), other mobile pensioners (and their family members)). Estimation could be based on data from the LFS and the 2012 Ageing Report (see also Deloitte - HIVA report, 2013). View on mobile pensioners by Eurostat Migration and migrant population statistics [migr_imm5prv]. By using the LFS, an estimation of the number of cross-border workers can be obtained, based on the question What is the name and address of the local unit of the enterprise where you work? and variables COUNTRYW (country of place of work) and COUNTRY (country of residence) in the database. However, some interpretation problems appear. On a legal basis a distinction should be made between the free movement of workers and of services. This is not yet done by this question in the LFS. Ideally, the LFS should make this distinction to avoid possible interpretation problems. Also, migration statistics from the LFS are based on the country of birth or on nationality. However, to obtain a reliable view on mobile citizens, the competent Member State should be known (or at least the previous country of residence). * Medium term: A new S1 questionnaire could be launched by the Administrative Commission. 24

25 * Long-term: By EESSI body of SED S072 Entitlement document Residence point 4. Status: employed or self-employed person, family member of employed or self-employed persons, frontier worker, family member of frontier worker, pensioner, family member of pensioner, non-active person, pension claimant. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.5, a3.6 and a3.7 (Administrative data) Appendix 3 Table a3.8 and a3.9 (estimate based on survey data LFS and Ageing Report) 25

26 Indicator 6 and 6bis: Sickness benefits - Number of persons receiving sickness benefits in kind who reside in a Member State other than the competent Member State and amount paid (as debtor)/received (as creditor) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of persons who received sickness benefits in kind residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State and the amount of the claim of reimbursement (as DEBTOR and as CREDITOR). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Budgetary impact: the amount could be compared with national expenditure on sickness benefits in kind. Also the assessment of the right of choice for cross-border workers could be made. However, this is already a more detailed analysis. A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. Only counting the number of claims does not say anything about the number of involved persons (more claims could be made for the same person). Methodology: The number of persons who received a sickness benefit in kind and the cost involved can be calculated via the SED S080 (Claim for reimbursement). However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. Some Member States receive only fixed amounts calculated on the basis of a formula defined in Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 (SED 095) (Claim for reimbursement of fixed amounts). Even though Member States can use the SED forms related to health care, they still use the old E-forms (E125 Individual record of actual expenditure, E126 Rates for refund of benefits in kind and E127 Individual record of monthly lump-sum payments ). A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. * Short term: More detailed data could be requested by the Audit Board. However, it will be difficult to select only the claims related to residence in a country other than the competent country. The claim should be compared to the entitlement document (select PD S1 and not EHIC OR PD S2 OR PD S3) of the insured person. Also, it will be difficult to select the number of involved persons. * Long term: EESSI: From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.10 (France) and a3.11 (France) 26

27 Indicator 7: Sickness benefits - Number of persons receiving sickness benefits in cash who reside in a Member State other than the competent Member State and amount paid (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of persons who received sickness benefits in cash residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State. Sickness benefits in cash (if they exist) are provided and paid by the competent Member State. A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. Please notice that also a specific indicator on LTC benefits in cash is defined. Depending on the classification at national level, this implies a possible overlap with this indicator. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Budgetary impact: the amount could be compared with national expenditure on sickness benefits in cash. Methodology: * Long term: EESSI: Whether a person is receiving an LTC benefit in cash (which is only a part of this indicator) is asked in PD S1 (point 2.1 the holder receives long-term care benefits in cash ). Also SED S001 'Information of payment of cash benefits - Long Term Care' could be helpful. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.12 (France) and a3.13 (Poland) 27

28 2) Stay outside the competent Member State Indicator 8: Sickness benefits - Number of European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) issued Descriptive definition of the indicator: This indicator contains different sub-indicators: 1. Number of EHICs issued/in circulation - How many EHICs did your institutions issue between 1 January and 31 December 20? Flow - How many EHICs issued by your institutions were in circulation on 31 December 20? (This means valid EHICs). Stock 2. Number of provisional replacement certificates (PRC) issued - How many PRCs were issued between 1 January and 31 December 20..? Flow 3. Period of validity of the EHIC - What is the validity period of the EHIC issued by your institutions? - Is the validity period of the EHIC identical for all categories of insured persons? If not, for which reason and for which categories of insured persons is the validity period different? Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) and TOTAL (STOCK) Type: NUMBER and STOCK Objective of the indicator: The EHIC proves the entitlement to necessary health care in kind during the stay in a Member State other than the competent Member State. If the persons concerned do not have a card, the institution of the place of stay may apply for one from the competent institution or may obtain a provisional replacement certificate (PRC). The first indicator should be combined with the period of validity (this will vary between countries, depending on the applicant s category or situation) of the EHIC and the issuing procedure (e.g. in some countries the EHIC is issued automatically). This number of EHICs issued could be compared with the number of insured persons by Member State. Methodology: Collected by the EHIC questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission. * Long term: EESSI: header of SED S045 Entitlement Document Temporary stay Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.14 and a

29 Indicator 9 and 9bis: Sickness benefits - Number of persons receiving sickness benefits in kind during their stay in a Member State other than the competent Member State and amount paid (as debtor) / received (as creditor) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: This indicator contains different sub-indicators: 1. Reimbursement of benefits in kind between institutions - How many E 125 forms were issued following the use of the EHIC in your country between 1 January and 31 December 20..? - If you started issuing SED S080 can you estimate the number of individual invoices you issued following the use of the EHIC in your country between 1 January and 31 December 20..? If so, how many individual invoices were issued? - How many E 125 forms did you receive following the use of the EHIC by persons insured under your sickness insurance scheme between 1 January and 31 December 20..? - If you started receiving SED S080 can you estimate the number of individual invoices you received following the use of the EHIC by persons insured under your sickness insurance scheme between 1 January and 31 December 20..? If so, how many individual invoices were received? - What percentage does the use of the EHIC abroad represent in respect of your total health expenditure? 2. Reimbursement of benefits in kind according to Article 25 B) (5) of Regulation (EC) No 987/ How many requests (E 126/ SED S067) according to Article 25 (B) (5) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 did you send during 20..? Is the number of requests increasing, decreasing or at the same level as for previous years? - How many requests (E 126/ SED S067) according to Article 25 (B) (5) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 did you receive during 20..? Is the number of requests increasing, decreasing or at the same level as for previous years? - How are the reimbursement rates applied by your institutions determined when replying to requests (E 126/ SED S067) according to Article 25 (B) (5) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009? - Do you have a centralised organisation for applying to requests (E 126/ SED S067) according to Article 25 (B) (5) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009? If not, how are your institutions organised for this purpose? - What type of information (receipts, prescriptions, vignettes etc.) do you need to be able to reply to a request (E 126/ SED S067) according to Article 25 (B) (5) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009? A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and number of persons. Only counting the number of claims does not say anything about the number of involved persons (more claims could be made for the same person). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: We would like to know how many of the insured persons have requested the reimbursement of costs in the country of stay and how many in the competent country (by comparing the number of issued E125/SED S080 ( Claim for reimbursement ) with the number of issued E126/SED S067 ( Request for reimbursement rates stay )). This has an important impact on the reimbursement procedure between countries. 29

30 Also the total expenditure of the competent Member State for the reimbursement of the provision of sickness benefits in kind to insured persons with an EHIC by the country of stay is relevant. This cross-border expenditure could be compared with the total national expenditure (based on data from ESSPROS). Methodology: The number of persons who received a sickness benefit in kind during their stay and the cost involved can be calculated via SED S080 (Claim for reimbursement). However, the reimbursement could be asked directly in the competent institution by the insured person. The competent institution will send an SED S067 (Request for reimbursement rates stay) and will receive an SED S068 (Reply reimbursement rates stay). Some data are already collected by the EHIC questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission (number of claims). However, it will be very difficult to obtain a complete overview of the reimbursements related to the EHIC. The old E125 form but also the new SED S080 does not mention this information. * Short term: More detailed data could be requested by the Audit Board. However, it will be difficult to select only the claims related to a stay in a country other than the competent country. The claim should be compared to the entitlement document (select EHIC and not PD S1 OR PD S2 OR PD S3) of the insured person. Also, it will be difficult to select the number of involved persons. * Long term: EESSI: From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). From the header of SED S067 (Request for reimbursement rates stay) (to count the number of claims) or body of SED S067 point 2 Person (to count the number of persons) and body of SED S068 (Reply reimbursement rates stay) 3.3 Amount (to know the amount). Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.16, a3.17 (France) and a3.18 (France) 30

31 3) Planned health care Indicator 10 and 10bis: Sickness benefits - Number of requests of scheduled treatment: issued received (= number of S2 form issued and received) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of PD S2/E112 certificates issued (+ refused) and received by the reporting country during the reference period (YEAR). The S2 form allows a person insured in an EU country to prove their entitlement to planned (or scheduled ) health treatment in another EU country. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: The re-launch of the questionnaire on the E112/ S2 form should deliver a better quantitative knowledge of the number of entitlements to scheduled health treatment in another country. Methodology: Collected by E112/S2 questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission. * Long term: EESSI: The body of SED S015 (point 4.2 The treatment) could be an alternative for the number of PD S2 received. One could get an idea of the number of persons residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State who are entitled to receive a scheduled treatment based on the body of SED S010 (point 5 Authorisation for scheduled treatment), where an authorisation for scheduled treatment is granted. Also, the number of times an extension of the entitlement for a scheduled treatment is asked/awarded could be interesting (this based on SED S035 and SED S037). Figure 2.1 Current and future flow of documents applicable to scheduled treatment Scheduled treatment (E112, S2, SEDs) MS of residence competent MS Request Competent MS SED S014 Request for information if treatment is provided for by Member State of stay SED S015 Information if treatment is provided for by Member State of stay (answer to SED S014) SED S035 Request for extension of entitlement document SED S036 Acknowledgement of request for extension of entitlement document SED S037 Reply to request for extension of entitlement document MS of treatment Request Portable document S2 (E112) issued Portable document S2 (E112) provided by insured person Insured person Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a

32 Indicator 11and 11bis: Sickness benefits Number of persons who received a scheduled treatment in a Member State other than the competent Member State and the amount paid (as debtor) / received (as creditor) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: Amount claimed (by the creditor) and paid (by the debtor) for scheduled treatment (E121 / S2) during the reference period (YEAR) and the number of involved persons. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: This should deliver better quantitative knowledge of the cost related to scheduled health treatment in another country. Methodology: * Short term: Adding a question in the E112/S2 questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission. The current questionnaire does not contain a question related to the reimbursement of scheduled treatment. The last report on the use of the E112 form of 2008 (CA.SS.TM. 223/08) stated on this issue that the replies received vary considerably, are generally incomplete and above all provide data which would be difficult to use As this question was inconclusive, it may be omitted from the next questionnaire. The number of persons who received a scheduled treatment and the cost involved can be calculated via SED S080 (Claim for reimbursement). The claim should be compared to the insured person s entitlement document (select PD S2 and not EHIC OR PD S1 OR PD S3). However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. Also, a distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. * Long term: EESSI: From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). An estimation of the cost of the treatment could be made by the body of SED S015 (point 4.3 Estimated costs of the treatment). However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.20 (France) and a3.21 (France) 32

33 4) Frontier workers Indicator 12 and 12bis: Medical treatment of former frontier worker in former country of employment issued and received (= number of S3 forms issued/received) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of PD S3 certificates issued and received by the reporting country during the reference period (YEAR). The S3 form entitles former frontier workers to a medical treatment in the former country of employment. The treatment may be a new one or a follow-up on a medical procedure that started before the holder stopped working there. However, not every retired frontier worker can use this right. The main condition has to be fulfilled that the competent Member State and the former Member State are listed in Annex V of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, which implies that many frontier workers will be excluded from this right. Member States listed: Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Austria, Portugal. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: Assessing the new rules implemented in Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on medical treatment of former frontier workers. Methodology: * Medium term: A new S3 questionnaire could be launched by the Administrative Commission. * Long term: EESSI: The body of SED S008 (Entitlement document) point 5 could be used to count the number of persons entitled to a treatment. Based on point 5.2 a distinction could be made between continuation of treatment and new treatment. Based on point 5.4 the former Member State of work is known. Data collection: No data available. 33

34 Indicator 13 and 13bis: Sickness benefits - Number of persons who have received a medical treatment as former frontier worker in the former country of employment and the amount paid (as debtor) / received (as creditor) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: Amount claimed (by the creditor) and paid (by the debtor) for medical treatment for former frontier workers (S3) during the reference period (YEAR) and the number of involved persons. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Measuring the budgetary impact of medical treatment for former frontier workers on the total expenditure. Methodology: The number of persons who received a medical treatment in the former Member State of employment and the cost involved can be calculated via SED S080 (Claim for reimbursement). The claim should be compared to the entitlement document (select PD S3 and not EHIC OR PD S2 OR PD S3) of the insured person. However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. Also, a distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. * Long term: EESSI: From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). An estimation of the cost of the treatment could be made by the body of SED S015 (point 4.3 Estimated costs of the treatment). However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. Data collection: No data available. 34

35 5) Long-term care Indicator 14, 14bis and 14bis2: Sickness benefits - Number of persons receiving LTC residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State: in kind in cash and the amount paid (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: Number of persons who received LTC benefits in kind/cash living in a Member State other than the competent Member State and the amount paid. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Counting the number of users of cross-border LTC benefits in cash and/or in kind. This figure could be compared with the number of the total number of user of LTC by Member State. But also the budgetary impact of cross-border use of LTC benefits could be measured. This could be compared to the total expenditure of LTC benefits (in cash and in kind) Methodology: * Long term: EESSI: The number of persons who received a LTC benefit in kind and the cost involved can be calculated via SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) (point 3.14 Long-term care benefit amount AND /OR point 3.20 Nature of benefits = long-term care). However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. Some Member States receive only fixed amounts calculated on the basis of a formula defined in Regulation (EC) No. 883/2004 (SED S095). Even though Member States can use the SED-forms related to health care, they still use the old E-forms (E125 Individual record of actual expenditure, E126 Rates for refund of benefits in kind and E127 Individual record of monthly lump-sum payments ). There is a limitation in that LTC is not mentioned on the E 125 form, which makes it very difficult to calculate LTC benefits in kind. Figure 2.2 Current and future flow of documents applicable to LTC benefits in kind and in cash Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.22 (administrative data: in cash) and Tables a3.23 a3.24 (estimate) 35

36 6) General Indicator 15 and 15bis: Number of persons receiving sickness benefits in kind in a Member State other than the competent Member State (= reporting Member State) and amount paid (Debtor) / received (Creditor) - actual expenditure (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of persons who received sickness benefits in kind in a Member State other than the competent Member State and the amount of the claim of reimbursement (as DEBTOR and as CREDITOR). A breakdown by type is asked: medical care amount, dental care amount, medicine care amount, hospitalisation amount, long-term care amount, amount of other benefits, total amount of benefits in kind. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Methodology: * Short term: The Audit Board Report provides an overview of the outstanding claims between Member States. Also the annual claim by creditor country is known. One could also ask for the annual claims received by the debtor countries. These figures provide a good overview of the claims related to sickness benefits (based on actual and fixed amounts). However, the breakdown by type of treatment is not available. * Long term: EESSI: The number of persons who received a sickness benefit in kind and the cost involved can be calculated via Structured Electronic Document (SED) S080 (Claim for reimbursement) point 3.7 Benefit provided. However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.25 (France), a3.26 (France) and a3.27 (administrative data: sum of actual and fixed amount creditor) 36

37 Indicator 16: Sickness benefits - Total expenditure related to sickness benefits (in cash and in kind) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The indicator describes the total expenditure for a specific social security scheme based on the European System of integrated Social PROtection Statistics (ESSPROS). ESSPROSS is an instrument of statistical observation which enables international comparison of the administrative national data on social protection in the EU Member States. The expenditure and receipts for all national resident social protection schemes are included in the ESSPROS data. Data sources are mainly administrative and register-based data. Only a small percentage of the figures come from surveys or other means. The indicator describes the total expenditure for a specific social security scheme based on the European System of integrated Social PROtection Statistics (ESSPROS). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: To obtain an overview of the total expenditure related to sickness benefits (in cash and in kind). This amount could be compared with the cross-border expenditure. Methodology: Data is available in ESSPROS, managed by Eurostat. Tables by benefits - sickness/health care function (spr_exp_fsi) Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a

38 Indicator 17: Sickness benefits - Ratio: cross-border expenditure / total expenditure related to sickness benefits Descriptive definition of the indicator: Indicator 15 (cross-border expenditure) will be compared to indicator 16 (total expenditure). It should be underlined that it concerns expenditure related to Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, distinct from the expenditure on the Directive on patient mobility (Directive 2011/24/EU). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: RATIO Objective of the indicator: To compare cross-border expenditure with total expenditure related to sickness benefits (in cash and in kind). Methodology: Indicator 15 (cross-border expenditure) will be compared to indicator 16 (total expenditure). Sources: ESSPROS (total expenditure) and Audit Board (cross-border expenditure in kind) Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.29 (in kind) and a3.30 (LTC) 38

39 2.2.3 Maternity and equivalent paternity benefits Indicator 18, 18bis, 18 bis2: Maternity and equivalent paternity benefits - Number of persons receiving a maternity/paternity benefit residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State (in cash and in kind) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of persons receiving a maternity/paternity benefit during the reference period (YEAR). A distinction has to be made between benefits in cash and in kind (according to chapter 1 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004). Maternity/paternity benefits in cash (if they exist) are provided and paid by the competent Member State. Maternity/paternity benefits in kind are provided in the country of residence and reimbursed by the competent Member State. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: Counting the number of cross-border workers who are entitled to a maternity benefit and an equivalent paternity benefit. This number could be compared to the total number of entitled persons (by Member State). Methodology: A distinction has to be made between persons entitled to cash benefits and/or to benefits in kind. * Long term: EESSI: The number of persons who received a sickness benefit in kind and the cost involved can be calculated via Structured Electronic Document (SED) S080 (Claim for reimbursement) point 3.20 Nature of benefit. However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). The number of the benefits in cash could be obtained by using administrative data available at national level. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.31 (France) and a3.32 (Poland) 39

40 Indicator 19, 19bis and 19 bis2: Maternity and equivalent paternity benefits - Amount paid to persons receiving a maternity/paternity benefit residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State (in cash and in kind) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: Expenditure related to persons receiving a maternity/paternity benefit and residing in a Member State other than the competent Member State during the reference period (YEAR). A distinction has to be made between benefits in cash and in kind (according to chapter 1, Regulation (EC) No 883/2004). Maternity/paternity benefits in cash (if they exist) are provided and paid by the competent Member State. Maternity/paternity benefits in kind are provided in the country of residence and reimbursed by the competent Member State. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: To obtain an overview of the cross-border expenditure related to maternity and paternity benefits. Methodology: A distinction has to be made between persons entitled to cash benefits and/or to benefits in kind. * Long term: EESSI: the number of persons who received a sickness benefit in kind and the cost involved can be calculated via SED S080 (Claim for reimbursement) point 3.20 Nature of benefit. However, this is only for reimbursements determined on the basis of actual expenditure and not on the basis of fixed amounts. A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. From the body of SED S080 (claim for reimbursement) this could be obtained by selecting point 3.5 Entitlement document and point 3 Individual claim (e.g Personal Identification Number). The amount of the benefits in cash could be obtained by using administrative data available at national level. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.31 (France) and a3.32 (Poland) 40

41 Indicator 20: Maternity and equivalent paternity benefits - Total expenditure related to maternity and equivalent paternity benefits (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The indicator describes the total expenditure for a specific social security scheme based on the European System of integrated Social PROtection Statistics (ESSPROS). ESSPROSS is an instrument of statistical observation which enables international comparison of the administrative national data on social protection in the EU Member States. The expenditure and receipts for all national resident social protection schemes are included in the ESSPROS data. Data sources are mainly administrative and register-based data. Only a small percentage of the figures come from surveys or other means. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: To obtain an overview of the total expenditure related to maternity and equivalent paternity benefits. This amount could be compared with the cross-border expenditure. Methodology: Data is available in ESSPROS, managed by Eurostat. Tables by benefits - family/children function (spr_exp_ffa) 41

42 Indicator 21: Maternity and equivalent paternity benefits - Ratio: cross-border expenditure / total expenditure related to maternity and equivalent paternity benefits Descriptive definition of the indicator: Indicator 19 (cross-border expenditure) will be compared to indicator 20 (total expenditure).

Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) and TOTAL (STOCK) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: Count the number of persons suffering an accident at work/occupational disease who are entitled to receive medical treatment and other special benefits in kind in a Member State other than the competent Member State (by E123 PD DA1 SED DA002). Methodology: * Medium term: A new DA1 questionnaire could be launched by the Administrative Commission. Breakdown by type: accident at work (point in PD DA1) and occupational disease (point in PD DA1). * Long term: EESSI: The body of SED DA002 (Certification of the right to benefits in kind) point 5. The right to benefits in kind could be used to count the number of entitled persons. The entitled period could be found in SED DA002, point 5.1. Data collection: No data available. 43

44 Indicator 23 and 23bis: Accidents at work and occupational diseases - Number of persons receiving benefits in kind who are residing/staying in a Member State other than the competent Member State and amount paid (as debtor)/received (as creditor) (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of persons who received benefits in kind residing/staying in a Member State other than the competent Member State and the amount of the claim of reimbursement (as DEBTOR and as CREDITOR). Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Budgetary impact: the amount could be compared with the national expenditure. Also the assessment of the right of choice could be made (compare Art. 36 (1) with Art. 36 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004. However, this is already a more detailed analysis. A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. Only counting the number of claims does not say anything about the number of persons involved (more claims could be made for the same person). Methodology: * Short term: More detailed data could be requested by the Audit Board. * Medium term: A new DA1 questionnaire could be launched by the Administrative Commission. * Long term: EESSI: The number of persons who received a benefit in kind and the cost involved can be calculated via Structured Electronic Document SED DA010 (Claim for reimbursement Benefits in kind) and SED DA019 (Information on Final Settlement Benefits in Kind). A distinction has to be made between the number of claims and the number of persons. One could select the person by point 3 Individual claim in the body of SED DA010. The amount of the claim could be found in point Total amount of benefits in kind. However, the breakdown by type is even more interesting (points ). Point in the body of SED DA019 provides the total claim amount paid. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a3.33 (Germany) 44

The PD P1 provides an overview of the decisions taken by the various Member States from whom an old age, survivors or invalidity pension was claimed. The 'contact institution' is that institution the claim for a pension was addressed to. Usually this will be the institution in the country of residence, if one was insured there, or the institution in the country in which one was last insured. Also the amount of the pension paid to new pensioners residing/insured in the EU Member State of the contact institution is asked. The reporting Member State is asked to count the number of pensioners who have been insured in two or more Member States of which the reporting Member State and the amount paid to these pensioners (= TOTAL NUMBER OF PENSIONS OR STOCK). The pension will be paid to persons residing/insured in the contact institution. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) and TOTAL (TOTAL) Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: Assessment of the current rules. Obtain an overview of the number of pensioners who have been insured in two or more Member States and the partial pension the reporting EU Member State is paying to these persons.

54 Indicator 32: Old-age and survivors benefits - Total expenditure related to old-age and survivors benefits (in ) Descriptive definition of the indicator: The indicator describes the total expenditure for a specific social security scheme based on the European System of integrated Social PROtection Statistics (ESSPROS). ESSPROSS is an instrument of statistical observation which enables international comparison of the administrative national data on social protection in the EU Member States. The expenditure and receipts for all national resident social protection schemes are included in the ESSPROS data. Data sources are mainly administrative and register-based data Only a small percentage of the figures come from surveys or other means. Period of observation: YEAR Type: AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: To obtain an overview of the total expenditure related to old-age benefits. This amount could be compared with the cross-border expenditure. Methodology: Data is available in ESSPROS, managed by Eurostat.

56 2.2.7 Unemployment benefits Indicator 34 and 34bis: Unemployment benefits - Number of forms issued to / received from unemployed persons who have certified periods from another Member State by category Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of PD U1/E301 issued and received during the reference period (YEAR) by the reporting Member State. The PD U1 certifies the periods of insurance and (self-)employment in another EU Member State that will be taken into account for the award of unemployment benefits. More detail about the profile of the unemployed person is asked. We make a distinction between frontier workers, other cross-border workers (frontier workers are excluded) and migrant workers. Frontier workers return daily, or at least once a week to their country of residence (they do not work in the country of residence). Other cross-border workers (excluding frontier workers) return less than once a week to their country of residence (they do not work in the country of residence). Migrant workers worked and lived in the competent Member State before unemployment, but have to prove also other insurance or (self-)employment periods completed in another Member State. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: The number of unemployed frontier workers, other cross-border workers and recent migrant workers could be compared with national unemployment figures. The number of unemployed frontier workers and other cross-border workers will also influence the claim of reimbursement. The proven period of insurance/(self-)employment could be compared with the required period to receive an unemployment benefit. Methodology: * Short term: Estimation of the unemployed cross-border workers and migrant workers can be calculated based on survey data (LFS: number of cross-border workers, recent migrant workers) and administrative data (unemployment rate, recent migrant workers). Some small adjustments could be made in the LFS to guarantee useful data collection and more conformity with the legal definitions. E.g. the number of frontier workers is calculated by taking into account the neighbouring countries and not the legal definition (return daily or at least once a week). One could add a sub-question about the frequency of return in the LFS. * Medium or long term: A new U1/E301 questionnaire could be launched by the Administrative Commission. However, a breakdown by type (frontier worker, other cross-border worker, migrant worker) is not available in PD U1. * Long term: EESSI: Count the number of SEDs U002 Insurance Record and SEDs U017 Insurance Record cross-border worker. 56

The PD U1 certifies the periods of insurance and (self-)employment in another EU Member State that will be taken into account for the award of unemployment benefits. More detail about the profile of the unemployed person is asked. We make a distinction between frontier workers, other cross-border workers (frontier workers are excluded) and migrant workers. Frontier workers return daily, or at least once a week to their country of residence (they do not work in the country of residence). Other cross-border workers (excluding frontier workers) return less than once a week to their country of residence (they do not work in the country of residence). Migrant workers worked and lived in the competent Member State before unemployment, but have to prove also other insurance or (self- )employment periods completed in another Member State. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: Compare the number of unique persons to the number of forms. Methodology: Estimation of the unemployed cross-border workers and migrant workers can be calculated based on survey data (LFS: number of cross-border workers, recent migrant workers) and administrative data (unemployment rate, recent migrant workers). Some small adjustments could be made in the LFS to guarantee useful data collection and more conformity with the legal definitions. E.g. the number of frontier workers is calculated by taking into account the neighbouring countries and not the legal definition (return daily or at least once a week). One could add a sub-question about the frequency of return in the LFS. * Medium or long term: EESSI: A new U1/E301 questionnaire could be launched by the Administrative Commission. However, a breakdown by type (frontier worker, other cross-border worker, migrant worker) is not available in PD U1. * Long term: Count the number of SEDs U002 Insurance Record and SEDs U017 Insurance Record cross-border worker.

59 Indicator 36: Unemployment benefits - Amount of unemployment benefits paid to unemployed persons who have certified periods from another Member State by category Descriptive definition of the indicator: Unemployment benefits paid to unemployed frontier workers, other cross-border workers and migrant workers during the reference period (YEAR) by the reporting Member State. More detail about the profile of the unemployed person is asked. We make a distinction between frontier workers, other cross-border workers (frontier workers are excluded) and migrant workers. Frontier workers return daily, or at least once a week to their country of residence (they do not work in the country of residence). Other cross-border workers (excluding frontier workers) return less than once a week to their country of residence (they do not work in the country of residence). Migrant workers worked and lived in the competent Member State before unemployment, but have to prove also other insurance or (self-)employment periods completed in another Member State. Period of observation: YEAR Type: AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: The budgetary impact of current rules compared to national expenditure. The amount paid to unemployed frontier workers and other cross-border workers will influence also the claim of reimbursement.

If possible, we would like to know how many unemployed persons have requested a U2 form, and for how many this was accepted or refused. The PD U2 is the authorisation to export the unemployment benefit to another EU Member State to look for work. Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: NUMBER Objective of the indicator: A new questionnaire on the use of PD U2 (E303) will be launched in This will provide an overview of the use of Article 64 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004. The number of PD U2 issued could be compared to the number of persons registered in the EURES CV database. Methodology: A questionnaire on the use of PD U2 (E303) is launched in * Long term: EESSI: Count the number (header) of SEDs U008 Document on export and SEDs U009 Notification Registration Export. However, the body of SED U008 is needed to know the decision of the competent institution (entitled yes/no?) (point 3. Entitlement).

Period of observation: YEAR (FLOW) Type: PERCENTAGE Objective of the indicator: Especially the success rate of jobseekers who have looked for a job in another Member State is an important indicator to assess the functioning of the current rules. Do they have a higher chance to find a job there compared to the national labour market? Methodology: A questionnaire on the use of PD U2 (E303) is launched in * Long term: Compare the number of SEDs U009 Notification Registration Export with the body of SED U010 Circumstances affecting entitlement Export point 3. Circumstance (select: the unemployed person takes up employment or becomes self-employed. Data collection: Appendix 3 Table a

66 Indicator 43 and 43bis: Unemployment benefits - Forms issued/received describing circumstances likely to affect the entitlement to unemployment benefits Descriptive definition of the indicator: The number of PD U3 issued/received by the reporting Member State during the reference period (YEAR) by detail. The PD U3 is a warning from the country where one is looking for a job. It means that this country has advised the employment service in the country which is paying the unemployment benefit about the fact that the situation of the jobseeker with a PD U2 has changed. The institution in the country which is paying the unemployment benefits will not receive this U3 form, but an SED (SED U010) distributed by the host institution. The reason which will likely affect the entitlement is asked. Period of observation: YEAR Type: FLOW Objective of the indicator: An overview of the circumstances which affect the entitlement to an unemployment benefit.

67 Indicator 44 and 44bis: Unemployment benefits - Reimbursement by Member State of last activity to Member State of residence (3 or 5 months): debtor and creditor Descriptive definition of the indicator: The total number and amount of reimbursement claims issued (by the creditor) and received (by the debtor), the treatment of the claim (by the debtor), and the amount reimbursed (by the debtor) and received (by the creditor) during the reference period (YEAR). The competent institution of the Member State to whose legislation the unemployed person was last subject (debtor) shall reimburse the institution of the place of residence the full amount of the benefits provided by the latter institution during the first three months. However, the period of reimbursement shall be extended to five months when the person concerned has, during the preceding 24 months, completed periods of employment or self-employment of at least twelve months in the Member State to whose legislation the unemployed person was last subject, where such periods would qualify for the purpose of establishing entitlement to unemployment benefits. However, another crucial element which should be taken into account for the calculation is the fact that the amount of reimbursement by the country of last activity is limited to the maximum unemployment benefit the unemployment person would receive in case of unemployment in the country of last activity. Period of observation: YEAR Type: NUMBER and AMOUNT Objective of the indicator: The number of claims issued and received (+ related amount). The impact of the burden (maximum amount paid by the country of last activity): difference with the original claim. Methodology: * Short term: The Estimation of the claim and reimbursement can be made based on survey data (LFS: number of cross-border workers) and administrative data (unemployment rate, Ageing Report: average unemployment benefit). * Medium or Long term: A new U1 questionnaire launched by the Administrative Commission. * Long term: EESSI: Count the header of the SEDs below, to have an idea of the number of claims and their treatment.

The Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) issues an PD A1 when determing Polish legislation, but in case of determination of legislation other than the Polish one, the parties concerned are informed by other means (letter). Even with EESSI, the sitation may occur where after a SED on determinination of legislation applicable or a special agreement concluded on the basis of art. 16 is sent, it will not be accompanied by a PD A1. Also, PL has doubts on the suggestion of counting PD A1 with the LFS. PL: This will increase the workload.

FI: Benefits in kind: information available in SED DA010 - FI: Benefits in cash: information is not available in the SEDs. Accidents at work and occupational diseases AT: these indicators appear to make sense, and no further data on accident insurance need to be collected. However, further precision is required here because the questions are too imprecise, and it is not always clear which data are to be collected. For instance, its is not clear whether and when a differentiation between cash benefits and benefits in kind needs to be made, which time limit should be established, and whether new and already existing entries should be differentiated. AT: It could be interesting to collect data on the effects on exposure in several Member States and the obligation on the last of the MS to cover all the costs of an occupational illness. PL: the term 'total expenditure' should be clarified (e.g. if it includes transfer costs as well). ES: In the case of Spain, ESSPROS spending statistics of accidents at work and occupational diseases are not easy broken. However, the data available could be provided.

It is not immediately necessary to collect this indicator in the future. Also to complicated to collect data. AT: Regarding this indicator, there are no identified and therefore usable data on persons who receive benefits in Austria on the basis of periods spent abroad. Only the number of cases registered as cross-border workers for payment purposes in the respective former State of employment is known. Forms issued concerning insurance periods are counted only if they have been drawn up electronically, but not manually, which is also possible. AT: No usable data are available. AT: No usable data are available. AT: These indicators (No. 42 and No. 43) are directly related. However, there is no information on the number of export applications which were not approved. Information is available only on the number of persons who exported one or more benefits within one year. It cannot be established whether this occured more than once. RO: Harldly achievable indicator. A distinction by two categories, frontier workers and migrant workers, could only be reported when all MS use SED U017 (frontier workers). Otherwise, making requested information available based on the forms PD U1 will turn into an administrative burden. RO: Totally unacceptable indicator: such information cannot be provided by the national database which makes no distinction between categories. Moreover, this indicator is considered irrelevant in the context of Regulation (EC) No. 883/2004 given that the amount corresponding to national UB largely differs between MS. PL: Only the accepted requests can be reported based on PD U2. The national database does not register refused requests.

PD U1 basically does not distinguish between normal and cross-border workers. Flow F - U004 is not used in case of cross-border worker who applies for benefit in his state of last employment. It would only be possible to distinguish between normal workers and cross-border workers who claim unemployment benefits in their State of residence, however, no distinction is made between frontier/non-frontier workers. workers 40 Number of 'unique' unemployed Not only more forms could be received during one year in respect of the same persons who have certified periods person but also on the occasion of one claim for benefit, insurance history can from another Member State be collected from number of States in respect of the same person. The collection of data on unique persons would therefore require matching of ID data sets by receiving institutions and it would be necessary to consult the content of the SEDs. 41 Amount of unemployment Amount of UB paid could only be collected by the State granting and providing benefits paid to unemployed benefits. persons who have certified periods from other Member State(s) by category. 42 Number of requests of unemployed persons who want to seek work abroad while entitled to unemployment benefits from the competent Member State: accepted, refused PD U2 and SED U008 can overlap. The collection of data from the SEDs would require entering the content of SEDs (SEDs U008 where the reply to entitlement is 'no' whould have to be excluded). It seems easier to collect the data from national sources of competent institutions. There seems to be no interest in the collection of number of refused exports since the institutions have no power of discretion - they only check whether the conditions under Article 64 of Reg. No. 883/2004 are met. The group sees no need in collectiong the refusals. Also, refusals are not traced by any SED or PD. 43 Number of 'unique' jobseekers PD U2 and SED U008 can overlap.

However, it would seem easier to collect this data solely from SED U010. It would be possible to colect this data from SED U020 except for distinguishing between 3 and 5 months claims. However, this distinction would be useful to trace in order to see whether cross-border work is rather short-term or long-term. Suggestion to add 2 additional indicators: * Number of exports where the export period is initially over 3 months (i.e. competent institution initially grants the extension of export period; * Ratio between cross-border workers with a right of choice who choose to claim unemployment benefits in the State of last activity or in the State of residence.
