Articolo 34 - Sicurezza sociale e assistenza sociale

1. L'Unione riconosce e rispetta il diritto di accesso alle prestazioni di sicurezza sociale e ai servizi sociali che assicurano protezione in casi quali la maternità, la malattia, gli infortuni sul lavoro, la dipendenza o la vecchiaia, oltre che in caso di perdita del posto di lavoro, secondo le modalità stabilite dal diritto dell'Unione e le legislazioni e prassi nazionali.
2. Ogni persona che risieda o si sposti legalmente all'interno dell'Unione ha diritto alle prestazioni di sicurezza sociale e ai benefici sociali, conformemente al diritto dell'Unione e alle legislazioni e prassi nazionali.
3. Al fine di lottare contro l'esclusione sociale e la povertà, l'Unione riconosce e rispetta il diritto all'assistenza sociale e all'assistenza abitativa volte a garantire un'esistenza dignitosa a tutti coloro che non dispongano di risorse sufficienti, secondo le modalità stabilite dal diritto dell'Unione e le legislazioni e prassi nazionali.

    • Text:

      Il principio enunciato nel paragrafo 1 dell'articolo 34 è basato sugli articoli 153 e 156 del trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea, nonché sull'articolo 12 della Carta sociale europea e sul punto 10 della Carta comunitaria dei diritti sociali fondamentali dei lavoratori. Esso deve essere rispettato dall'Unione quando questa si avvale dei poteri ad essa conferiti dagli articoli 153 e 156 del trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea. Il riferimento ai servizi sociali riguarda i casi in cui siffatti servizi sono stati istituiti per garantire determinate prestazioni, ma non implica in alcun modo che essi debbano essere creati laddove non esistono. Il termine `maternità` deve essere inteso come nell'articolo precedente.
      Il paragrafo 2 è basato sull'articolo 12, paragrafo 4 e sull'articolo 13, paragrafo 4 della Carta sociale europea nonché sul punto 2 della Carta comunitaria dei diritti sociali fondamentali dei lavoratori e rispecchia le norme derivanti dal regolamento (CEE) n. 1408/71 e dal regolamento (CEE) n. 1612/68.

      Il paragrafo 3 è ispirato all'articolo 13 della Carta sociale europea e agli articoli 30 e 31 della Carta sociale riveduta nonché al punto 10 della Carta comunitaria dei diritti sociali fondamentali dei lavoratori. Esso deve essere rispettato dall'Unione nel quadro delle politiche fondate sull'articolo 153 del trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea.

    • Directive 2014/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the conditions of entry and stay of third-country nationals for the purpose of employment as seasonal workers

      Preamble

      ‘(46) Third-country national seasonal workers should be granted equal treatment in respect of those branches of social security listed in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (13). This Directive does not harmonise the social security legislation of Member States and does not cover social assistance. It is limited to applying the principle of equal treatment in the field of social security to the persons falling within its scope. This Directive should not confer more rights than those already provided in existing Union legislation in the field of social security for third-country nationals who have cross-border interests between Member States.
      Due to the temporary nature of the stay of seasonal workers and without prejudice to Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (14), Member States should be able to exclude family benefits and unemployment benefits from equal treatment between seasonal workers and their own nationals and should be able to limit the application of equal treatment in relation to education and vocational training, as well as tax benefits.
      This Directive does not provide for family reunification. Furthermore, this Directive does not grant rights in relation to situations which lie outside the scope of Union law such as, for example, situations where family members reside in a third country. That should not, however, affect the right of survivors who derive rights from the seasonal worker to receive survivor’s pensions when residing in a third country. This should be without prejudice to the non-discriminatory application by Member States of national law providing for de minimis rules on contributions to pension systems. Mechanisms should be in place in order to ensure effective social security coverage during the stay and the exporting of acquired rights of the seasonal workers, where applicable.
      (47) Union law does not limit the power of the Member States to organise their social security schemes. In the absence of harmonisation at Union level, it is for each Member State to lay down the conditions under which social security benefits are granted, as well as the amount of such benefits and the period for which they are granted. However, when exercising that power, Member States should comply with Union law.‘

      (52) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular, Articles 7, 15(3), 17, 27, 28, 31 and 33(2) thereof, in accordance with Article 6 TEU

      Article 23 - Right to equal treatment

      ‘1. Seasonal workers shall be entitled to equal treatment with nationals of the host Member State at least with regard to:
      (a) terms of employment, including the minimum working age, and working conditions, including pay and dismissal, working hours, leave and holidays, as well as health and safety requirements at the workplace;
      (b) the right to strike and take industrial action, in accordance with the host Member State’s national law and practice, and freedom of association and affiliation and membership of an organisation representing workers or of any organisation whose members are engaged in a specific occupation, including the rights and benefits conferred by such organisations, including the right to negotiate and conclude collective agreements, without prejudice to the national provisions on public policy and public security;
      (c) back payments to be made by the employers, concerning any outstanding remuneration to the third-country national;
      (d) branches of social security, as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004;
      (e) access to goods and services and the supply of goods and services made available to the public, except housing, without prejudice to the freedom of contract in accordance with Union and national law;
      (f) advice services on seasonal work afforded by employment offices;
      (g) education and vocational training;
      (h) recognition of diplomas, certificates and other professional qualifications in accordance with the relevant national procedures;
      (i) tax benefits, in so far as the seasonal worker is deemed to be resident for tax purposes in the Member State concerned.
      Seasonal workers moving to a third country, or the survivors of such seasonal workers residing in a third-country deriving rights from the seasonal worker, shall receive statutory pensions based on the seasonal worker’s previous employment and acquired in accordance with the legislation set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, under the same conditions and at the same rates as the nationals of the Member States concerned when they move to a third country.
      2. Member States may restrict equal treatment:
      (i) under point (d) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 by excluding family benefits and unemployment benefits, without prejudice to Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010;
      (ii) under point (g) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 by limiting its application to education and vocational training which is directly linked to the specific employment activity and by excluding study and maintenance grants and loans or other grants and loans;
      (iii) under point (i) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 with respect to tax benefits by limiting its application to cases where the registered or usual place of residence of the family members of the seasonal worker for whom he/she claims benefits, lies in the territory of the Member State concerned.
      3. The right to equal treatment provided for in paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to the right of the Member State to withdraw or to refuse to extend or renew the authorisation for the purpose of seasonal work in accordance with Articles 9 and 15.‘

      ‘(55) Equal treatment as granted to researchers and students, as well as trainees, volunteers and au pairs when they are considered to be in an employment relationship in the Member State concerned, includes equal treatment in respect of those branches of social security listed in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (13). This Directive does not harmonise the social security legislation of Member States. It is limited to applying the principle of equal treatment in the field of social security to the third-country nationals falling within its scope. In addition, this Directive does not grant rights in relation to situations which lie outside the scope of Union law, such as in relation to family members residing in a third country. That should not affect, however, the right of survivors who derive rights from third-country nationals falling under the scope of this Directive, where applicable, to receive survivors' pensions when residing in a third country.
      (56) In many Member States, the right to family benefits is conditional upon a certain connection with that Member State since the benefits are designed to support a positive demographic development in order to secure the future work force in that Member State. Therefore, this Directive should not affect the right of a Member State to restrict, under certain conditions, equal treatment in respect of family benefits when the researcher and the accompanying family members are staying temporarily in that Member State.
      (57) In the event of mobility between Member States, Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (14) applies. This Directive should not confer more rights than those already provided for in existing Union law in the field of social security for third-country nationals who have cross-border interests between Member States.‘

    • Directive 2014/66/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals in the framework of an intra-corporate transfer

      Preamble:
      ‘(38) Adequate social security coverage for intra-corporate transferees, including, where relevant, benefits for their family members, is important for ensuring decent working and living conditions while staying in the Union. Therefore, equal treatment should be granted under national law in respect of those branches of social security listed in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10). This Directive does not harmonise the social security legislation of Member States. It is limited to applying the principle of equal treatment in the field of social security to the persons falling within its scope. The right to equal treatment in the field of social security applies to third-country nationals who fulfil the objective and non-discriminatory conditions laid down by the law of the Member State where the work is carried out with regard to affiliation and entitlement to social security benefits.
      In many Member States, the right to family benefits is conditional upon a certain connection with that Member State since the benefits are designed to support a positive demographic development in order to secure the future work force in that Member State. Therefore, this Directive should not affect the right of a Member State to restrict, under certain conditions, equal treatment in respect of family benefits, since the intra-corporate transferee and the accompanying family members are staying temporarily in that Member State. Social security rights should be granted without prejudice to provisions of national law and/or bilateral agreements providing for the application of the social security legislation of the country of origin. However, bilateral agreements or national law on social security rights of intra-corporate transferees which are adopted after the entry into force of this Directive should not provide for less favourable treatment than the treatment granted to nationals of the Member State where the work is carried out. As a result of national law or such agreements, it may be, for example, in the interests of the intra-corporate transferees to remain affiliated to the social security system of their country of origin if an interruption of their affiliation would adversely affect their rights or if their affiliation would result in their bearing the costs of double coverage. Member States should always retain the possibility to grant more favourable social security rights to intra-corporate transferees. Nothing in this Directive should affect the right of survivors who derive rights from the intra-corporate transferee to receive survivor's pensions when residing in a third country.
      (39) In the event of mobility between Member States, Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) should apply accordingly. This Directive should not confer more rights than those already provided for in existing Union law in the field of social security for third-country nationals who have cross-border interests between Member States.‘
      Article 18 Right to equal treatment
      ‘2. Intra-corporate transferees shall enjoy equal treatment with nationals of the Member State where the work is carried out as regards:
      (c) provisions in national law regarding the branches of social security defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, unless the law of the country of origin applies by virtue of bilateral agreements or the national law of the Member State where the work is carried out, ensuring that the intra-corporate transferee is covered by the social security legislation in one of those countries. In the event of intra-EU mobility, and without prejudice to bilateral agreements ensuring that the intra-corporate transferee is covered by the national law of the country of origin, Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010 shall apply accordingly; [...]‘
