Social Security
-
The original trans European agreements were made for people being sent to another European Community country by their employers (thereby allowing the employee to continue contributions in his own home country and receive treatment in the work country) This obviously means that a person DOES contribute somewhere. In addition, people going to establish themselves in another European country (self employed) or working for a local employer were intended to pay into and therefore be covered by the local work plan (French social security in this case)
A lot of the questions, and remarks here maybe don't fall into this kind of area, and questions I have seen on a lot of similar forums are probably prompted by the possibility of weedling between the cracks to get the best of benefits by "cherry picking" Come on, be a real representation of "Fair Play"
PS I am a Brit who has lived in France for 35 years, worked here, and been self employed and involved in this particular subject with national groups. I'm a little tired of listening to Brits in Paris restaurants boasting about how they fiddle the system (for the moment) and assuming that others in the same restaurant can't understand them.Anonymous 01 Jan 2006, 04:39 - Report
