(ADW/AFP) The European Commission on Tuesday proposed to overhaul rules on benefits for EU migrants which would mean that Greater Region cross-border workers residing abroad, could receive unemployment benefit from Luxembourg instead of their country of residence which is currently the case.

If the bill comes to fruition it would impact Belgian, French and German residents who cross into Luxembourg daily. This would also impact the Grand Duchy's coffers.
