Abstract
The aim of this Special Issue is to present a critical analysis of the reform of the coordination of
social security in the light of the 2016-2019 revision of the EU Regulations on the coordination of
social security. The articles scrutinise all areas of the Commission’s proposal for amending Reg-
ulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems and Regulation (EC) No
987/2009, which lays down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EC) No 883/2004. The
introduction provides an overview of the negotiation of the Commission’s proposal and outlines
the aims and the structure of the Special Issue.
Keywords
EU coordination of social security, revision of social security Regulations, free movement, social
