The EU provisions on social security

➥➥ Solvit is a network created by the European Commission and the member states
(plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) with the aim of solving problems between
national administrations that arise for individual citizens and businesses as a result
of the misapplication of internal market rules. It helps to find out-of-court (informal)
solutions to complaints regarding the incorrect application of internal market
laws by public authorities (http://ec.europa.eu/solvit/).
➥➥ In cases where you consider that the national legislation of a particular member
state or that the administrative practices applied by the institutions of that state
conflict with the <strong>EU</strong> <strong>provisions</strong> on social security coordination, you can write a complaint
to the European Commission. Where a member state fails to comply with <strong>EU</strong>
law, the Commission has powers of its own (action for non-compliance) to bring the
infringement to an end and, where necessary, it may refer the case to the Court of
Justice of the European Union.
