The European Union's regulations on coordinating social security have assumed immense significance in recent decades. This comprehensive book provides a clear and detailed overview of the key aspects and significant developments within this crucial area of EU law. Since May 1, 2010, when Coordination Regulation 883/2004 came into force, the Court of Justice has rendered important decisions that have interpreted various provisions of the Regulation and shed light on the impact of other instruments, such as the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Directive 2004/38, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, on coordination issues. In December 2016, the European Commission proposed a radical revision of several chapters of the Regulation. However, to date, this proposal has not been adopted, and the prospects for its adoption remain bleak. Given the continuous stream of judgments from the Court of Justice, an up-to-date overview of the Regulation and case law is both timely and essential. This book fulfills this objective and, in addition, delves into the proposed revisions meticulously, analyzing their background and implications.

Furthermore, the book examines the primary non-discrimination provisions relevant to social security and important social policy instruments, including the Open Method of Coordination, the Social Pillar, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. This seventh edition of this authoritative handbook is a valuable resource for students, academics, and practitioners alike, offering a comprehensive and insightful examination of the EU's regulations on coordinating social security.
