According to the opinion of Advocate General Wathelet, Germany may refuse, on the basis of a general criterion that demonstrates the absence of a genuine link with the host Member State, nationals of other Member States ‘social security benefits for jobseekers who are in need of assistance’. Germany may thus exclude from such benefits persons who come to Germany solely in order to seek employment or obtain social assistance. The final ruling from the European Court of Justice is expected to be known within some months. |
