THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS, Whereas, where workers residing in the territory of a Member State are eligible, under the legislation applicable to them, to receive unemployment benefits, they should be allowed to pursue a part-time professional or trade activity in the territory of another Member State, while retaining entitlement to unemployment benefits provided by the State in which they reside; Whereas it is necessary in this situation to determine the legislation applicable to such workers, in order to avert possible conflicts of laws; Whereas it is desirable that such workers should continue to be subject to the legislation of their country of residence as regards both the payment of contributions due by virtue of their occupation and the granting of benefits, RECOMMENDS that the competent authorities of the Member States concerned conclude, or instruct the bodies designated by these competent authorities to conclude, agreements pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 on the following conditions: 1. The agreements should provide that workers receiving unemployment benefit in their State of residence and simultaneously pursuing part-time work in another Member State shall be subject exclusively to the legislation of the former State as regards both the payment of contributions and the granting of benefits. 2. For the purposes of applying these agreements, the following administrative formalities shall be complied with: (a) The institution providing the unemployment benefit in the State of residence of the person concerned shall inform the institution designated by the competent authority of that State of any part-time work in which the person concerned engages in another Member State. (b) The latter institution shall issue the person concerned with a certificate to the effect that he is subject to its legislation and shall send a copy thereof to the institution designated by the competent authority of the Member State in whose territory the person concerned works part-time. All information required in view of the fact that the person concerned is subject to the legislation of his State of residence shall be enclosed with this certificate, to be forwarded to the employer.
