European Union
Each Member State of the European Union has its own system and in general a worker should claim unemployment benefits in the country where he last worked. For a person working in another country than its residence country (a cross-border worker), he will have to claim benefits in his country of residence. More specific rules and information is available on the Your Europe portal.

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or union:
“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
