\nThe Community acquis as applied by the EC Member States within the European Community when this Agreement is signed:
\nThe principles of aggregation of entitlements to unemployment benefit and its provision in the State of last employment apply irrespective of the duration of employment.
\nPersons who have been employed for a period of less than one year within the territory of a Member State may, in order to seek a new job, reside there after the end of their employment for a reasonable period, which may be up to six months, for the purpose of identifying offers of jobs corresponding to their professional qualifications and, if necessary, taking the steps required to obtain employment. These persons may also remain after the end of their employment if they have sufficient financial means to support themselves and the members of their families without having to draw on welfare benefits during their stay, and if they have sickness insurance cover for all risks. Unemployment benefit to which they are entitled under national legislation, and which may if necessary be supplemented under aggregation rules, is to be regarded as such financial means. Financial means are deemed adequate if they exceed the amount below which nationals of the State concerned may, while taking into account their personal circumstances and possibly those of their families, claim welfare benefits. If this precondition is not applicable, the financial means of the applicant are considered adequate if they exceed the level of the minimum social security pension granted by the host State.
\nSeasonal workers may exercise their rights to unemployment benefits in the State of last employment regardless of when the season concerned comes to an end. They may remain after the end of their employment provided that they satisfy the conditions mentioned in the previous paragraph. If they make themselves available for work in the State of residence, they will receive unemployment benefits in that State in accordance with the provisions of Article 71 of Regulation (EEC) no 1408/71.
\nFrontier workers may make themselves available for work in the State of residence or in the State of last employment if they have maintained personal and professional links and thus have better prospects of finding employment there. They will draw unemployment benefits in the State in which they make themselves available for work.
\nPROTOCOL to Annex II to the Agreement on the free movement of persons Unemployment insurance 1. The following rules shall apply with respect to unemployment insurance for workers holding a residence permit with a period of validity of less than one year:
\n1.1. Only workers who have paid contributions in Switzerland for the minimum period required under the Federal Unemployment Insurance and Insolvency Allowances Act (loi fłdłrale sur l'assurance-chĮmage obligatoire et l'indemnitł en cas d'insolvabilitł - LACI)(1) and who also satisfy the other conditions of eligibility for unemployment benefit shall be entitled to such benefit provided by the unemployment insurance under the conditions laid down by law.
\n1.2. A portion of the contributions levied for workers whose period of contribution is too short to give entitlement to unemployment benefit in Switzerland under 1.1 shall be refunded to their States of origin in accordance with the provisions of 1.3. in order to contribute towards the cost of benefits provided to these workers in the event of full unemployment; these workers shall then have no entitlement to benefit in the event of their being fully unemployed in Switzerland. They shall, however, be entitled to allowances for bad weather and in the event of the employer becoming insolvent.
\nBenefits in the event of full unemployment shall be paid by the State of origin, provided that the workers concerned make themselves available for work. Periods of insurance completed in Switzerland shall be taken into account in the same way as if they had been completed in the State of origin.
\n1.3. The portion of the contributions levied for workers referred to in 1.2 shall be refunded on an annual basis in accordance with the following provisions: (a) The total contributions of these workers shall be calculated, by country, on the basis of the annual number of workers employed and the average annual contributions paid for each worker (employer's and employee's contributions). (b) Of the amount calculated in this way, a portion thereof corresponding to the relative share represented by unemployment benefit as a percentage of all the allowances referred to in 1.2 shall be refunded to the workers' States of origin, and a portion shall be retained by Switzerland as a reserve for subsequent benefits.(2) (c) Switzerland shall, on an annual basis, provide a statement showing the contributions refunded. If the States of origin so request, it shall indicate the bases for the calculation and the sums refunded. The States of origin shall each year notify Switzerland of the number of recipients of unemployment benefit as referred to in 1.2.
\nAllowances for helpless persons Allowances for helpless persons under the Federal Old-Age and Survivors' Insurance Act (loi fłdłrale sur l'assurance-vieillesse et survivants) and the Federal Invalidity Insurance Act (loi fłdłrale sur l'assurance-invaliditł) shall, by means of a decision of the Joint Committee, be provided for in the text of Annex II to the Agreement on the free movement of persons in Annex IIa to Regulation No 1408/71, as soon as the amendment of these Acts stipulating that these benefits shall be financed exclusively by the public authorities enters into effect.
\nOccupational benefit plans concerning old-age, survivors' and invalidity pensions Notwithstanding Article 10 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, the vested benefit provided for under the Federal Act on free movement among occupational benefit plans concerning old-age, survivors' and invalidity pensions (Loi fłdłrale sur le libre passage dans la prłvoyance professionnelle vieillesse, survivants et invaliditł) of 17 December 1993 shall be paid out on request to an employed or self-employed person who intends to leave Switzerland for good and who, under Title II of the Regulation, will no longer be subject to Swiss law, provided that they leave Switzerland within five years of this Agreement entering into effect.
