What do the EU provisions on social security offer?
Rather than harmonising the national social security systems, the Community provisions on social security provide for simple coordination of the Union's member states' systems.

In other words, every member state is free to decide who is to be insured under its legislation, which benefits are granted and under what conditions, and how these benefits are calculated and how many contributions should be paid.
