Austria STRIPS benefits from residents’ children living aboard in move that could anger EU
AUSTRIA’S ruling party has announced plans to cut benefit payments for residents’ children living abroad in a move which could be branded illegal by the European Union.
The conservatives and the far right party coalition announced its plans to cut benefit payments for children living abroad during a cabinet meeting in a castle near Slovenia.
The move will mean stricter rules are imposed on Austrians who claim benefits for children who live in a country where the cost of living is lower.
