Dear Madam/Sir,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in a survey on ‘Facilitating free movement through further digitalisation in social security coordination.’ The survey will be used in the context of a study for the European Commission, DG EMPL. Our research focuses on the potential medium to longer-term developments in the digitalisation of social security coordination to address existing problems in individuals’ exercise of social security rights in other European countries. You can find a letter of support attached.
The purpose of this survey is to gain a better understanding of the current situation, the need of and costs for a potential ESSPASS solution, as well its potential impacts. Your feedback is crucial in helping us gather evidence and insights on the existing problem, its drivers and consequences, and options to improve the social security coordination. Data collected for the purpose of this study will be used to support the European Commission in designing and assessing policy options suitable for addressing existing problems.
Access the survey here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/ESSPASS_Survey
The survey's main language is English. Machine translations in all EU languages are available, but they should be treated with care.
We invite you to complete the survey by 17 April.
We would very much appreciate if you share the survey within your network.
If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at: [email protected]
Thank you in advance for your time and insights. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Claudia, on behalf of the Ecorys team
