EU wants to simplify cross-border social security access : c

The European Commission on Wednesday proposed a series of measures to ease access to social security services across borders by speeding up digitalisation in member states. The Commission said that in 2021, 16 million people from the EU, the European Economic Area (EEA), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and Switzerland lived or worked outside their own area. For many EU citizens, gaining access to medical or social services in other member states and getting expenditure on them reimbursed once home can be complicated and require lots of patience and paperwork.
