L'application des règlements (CE) n° 883/2004 et (CE) n° 987/2009 a fait clairement apparaître que ceux-ci n'apportent aucune réponse à la question de savoir quel pays doit verser des prestations de chômage aux personnes non salariées qui, bien qu'ayant cotisé, ne bénéficient d'aucune prestation si elles se retrouvent sans emploi.
In the application of regulations 883/2004 and 987/2009, it had become clear that these regulations did not provide a solution to the question of which country should pay unemployment benefits to those self-employed people who, despite having paid contributions, did not receive benefits in return, if they became unemployed.
