Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7) In order to ensure clarity regarding the terminology in EU law, the term “posting” should only be used for the posting of workers within the meaning of Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services.34 In addition, to achieve consistency in treatment between employed and self-employed persons it is necessary that the special rules for the determination of applicable legislation in the cases of workers who are temporarily posted or sent to another Member State should apply consistently to both employed and self-employed persons. __________________ 34 OJ L 018, 21.01.1997 p. 1.deleted

Amendment 165 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 3
Regulation (EC) No 883/2004
Recital 5a
(5a) The Court of Justice has held that Member States are entitled to make the access of economically inactive citizens in the host Member State to social security benefits, which do not constitute social assistance within the meaning of Directive 2004/38/EC subject to a legal right of residence within the meaning of that Directive. The verification of the legal right of residence should be carried out in accordance with the requirement of Directive 2004/38/EC. For these purposes, an economically inactive citizen should be clearly distinguished from a jobseeker whose right of residence is conferred directly by Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In order to improve legal clarity for citizens and institutions, a codification of this case law is necessary.deleted

Recital 5 d (new)
(5d) In applying the general principle of equal treatment provided for in this Regulation, the Court of Justice of the European Union held, in its judgments in cases C-140/12 Brey, C-333/13 Dano, C- 67/14 Alimanovic and C-299/14 Garcia- Nieto, that equal treatment may, as regards the access to special non- contributory cash benefits, which also constitute social assistance within the meaning of Directive 2004/38/EC, be subject to the limitations and the conditions set out in Article 24 of that Directive. In order to improve legal clarity for citizens of the Union and Member States’ institutions, that case-law should be codified. Limitations to equal treatment should respect Union law, including the principle of proportionality as interpreted by the Court of Justice.
