The French government has abandoned plans to cut the amount of unemployment benefits to be paid to out of work frontaliers.
Cross border associations feared the amount could have been cut by half at the beginning of next year.
While broadly welcomed by the associations and local French politicians – there is an acknowledgement that the fundamental problem on financing the payments remain and reform is needed.
European rules currently mean those working in Switzerland pay into the Swiss social insurance system – but the residing country pays the welfare.
Future discussions could mean governments need to transfer money to compensate.
