COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 780/2009

of 27 August 2009

laying down provisions for implementing the third subparagraph of Article 28a(2) and the third subparagraph of Article 96(2) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities (CEOS)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities established by Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 28a(2) and the third subparagraph of Article 96(2) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the committee of experts set up by paragraph 2 of those Articles,

Whereas:

(1)

The third subparagraph of Article 28a(2) and the third subparagraph of Article 96(2) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities lay down the conditions for granting an unemployment allowance to a former member of the temporary or contract staff who is unemployed when his service with an institution of the European Communities has been terminated.

(2)	It is for the Commission to lay down such provisions as it deems necessary for applying paragraph 2 of those Articles.

(3)	Steps must be taken to ensure that former members of the temporary or contract staff fulfil the obligations laid down by the law applied by the competent authorities in their place of residence, in the same way as if they were in receipt of unemployment benefit under that law.

(4)	Relations between beneficiaries and the administrative authorities, on the one hand, and the national and Community authorities on the other must be guided by the need to simplify procedures.

(5)

Exchanging information electronically, particularly under the EESSI (Electronic Exchange of Social Security Information) project, is one way to increase the effectiveness of cooperation between the Commission and the competent national authorities with responsibility for employment and unemployment,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

To qualify for the unemployment allowance provided for in the third subparagraph of Article 28a(2) and the third subparagraph of Article 96(2) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities (CEOS), a former member of the temporary or contract staff who satisfies the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 of those Articles shall be required to complete the following formalities:

he shall forward a declaration to the Community institution to which he belonged within eight days of the date of termination of service with that institution, stating:

(a)	that he is unemployed following termination of his service;

(b)	that he is resident or is establishing his residence in the territory of a Member State of the Communities;

and

(a)	he shall register as seeking employment with the competent employment authorities in his place of residence, as soon as possible and no later than 30 days following the termination of his service with a Community institution;

(b)	if unemployment benefit is payable under national legislation, he shall apply for it to the appropriate authorities in his place of residence, as soon as possible, and no later than 30 days following the termination of his service with a Community institution;

when registering as indicated at 2(a) above, he shall present the certificate form provided by the Community institution to which he belonged to the aforementioned employment authorities, who shall complete, without delay, both the certificate form and, at least, the section certifying that the person concerned has registered as seeking employment. The certificate, a specimen of which is annexed to this Regulation, may be replaced by a simplified document, forwarded electronically for example, on the basis of an agreement between the Commission (representing all the Community institutions) and the competent national authorities;

starting from the second calendar month following registration under 2 above, he shall, at the beginning of each month, present a certificate form to the authorities responsible for employment and, where applicable, the unemployment authorities in his place of residence, which shall certify by these means, as soon as possible:

—	whether he is registered as seeking employment and has applied for unemployment benefit or similar allowances in accordance with the national legislation of his place of residence;

Accordingly, the competent authorities in his place of residence shall continue to impose those obligations and carry out those checks.
