European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker calls for the introduction of a European unemployment insurance. „It must not be that an EU country in the event of a no-fault crisis due to rising unemployment, the unemployment benefit cut,“ said Juncker, according to the preliminary report of the „World on Sunday“.
It should not be saved in crisis situations at the wrong end, in terms of investmen
t, education or unemployment benefits. Other EU countries would have to help then. „Although I am very much in favor of European unemployment insurance, it must not be a free ticket for countries that do not undertake any reforms and thus get into difficulties,“ says Juncker.
