Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
(8) In the area of unemployment benefits, the rules on the aggregation of periods of insurance should be applied uniformly by all Member States. With the exception of cross-border workers referred to in Article 65(2), the rules on the aggregation of periods for the purpose of conferring entitlement to unemployment benefits should be subject to the condition that an insured person has most recently completed at least three months of insurance in that Member Stateperiods or periods assimilated to insurance periods in that Member State, with a view to ensuring a fairer distribution of the burden, to avoiding abusive practices and ensuring better representativeness of the income taken into account. The previously competent Member State should become competent for all insured persons who do not satisfy this condition. In this case, registration with the employment services of the Member State of most recent insurance should have the same effect as registration with the employment services of the Member State, where the unemployed person had been previously insured.

Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The new unemployment compensation mechanism for frontier workers could lead to changes in their conditions and make it more difficult for them to return to the labour market. To overcome these difficulties, it is necessary for the Member State of residence to put in place accompanying measures for these unemployed persons in order to help them in their dealings with the relevant institution of the competent Member State. It is also essential that the new regulatory framework should clarify the possibilities for those unemployed persons to register with the employment services in their Member State of residence, where they will have the opportunity to look for a job, obtain information and take advantage of all the measures to help them return to work, such as training or retraining.
