Subject: Share Your Insights: Study on ‘Facilitating free movement through
further digitalisation in social security coordination'
Dear Madam/Sir,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in a survey on ‘Facilitating
free movement through further digitalisation in social security
coordination.’ The survey will be used in the context of a study for the
European Commission, DG EMPL. Our research focuses on the potential medium
to longer-term developments in the digitalisation of social security
coordination to address existing problems in individuals’ exercise of social
security rights in other European countries. You can find a letter of
support attached.
The purpose of this survey is to gain a better understanding of the current
situation, the need of and costs for a potential ESSPASS solution, as well
its potential impacts. Your feedback is crucial in helping us gather
evidence and insights on the existing problem, its drivers and consequences,
and options to improve the social security coordination. Data collected for
the purpose of this study will be used to support the European Commission in
designing and assessing policy options suitable for addressing existing
problems.
Access the survey here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/ESSPASS_Survey
The survey's main language is English. Machine translations in all EU
languages are available, but they should be treated with care.
We invite you to complete the survey by 17 April.
We would very much appreciate if you share the survey within your network.
If you have any questions or need further information, please do not
