Abstract

Das Ziel des Beitrages ist es, auf einige sich abzeichnende Probleme der sozialen Absicherung von selbständig Erwerbstätigen in Europa hinzuweisen. Der sich ergebende Handlungsbedarf bezieht sich dabei auf die sozialen Sicherungssysteme innerhalb der Einzelstaaten und auf deren zwischenstaatliche Koordinierung. In diesem Zusammenhang ist die Sichtweise der Europäischen Union von Interesse, der in dem Beitrag besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird. Der kurze Überblick zeigt, daß bei der Erarbeitung von Handlungsoptionen spezifische Aspekte zu beachten sind, die sich u. a. aus den folgenden vier Punkten ergeben: 1. die unterschiedlichen Besteuerungsprinzipien in den Mitgliedstaaten, 2. die grenzüberschreitende Erstellung von Waren und Dienstleistungen, 3. der Standortwechsel eines Selbständigen zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten sowie 4. ein Statuswechsel, d. h. der Wechsel von abhängiger zu selbständiger Erwerbstätigkeit et vice versa. Weiterhin wird verdeutlicht, daß bei allen Reformüberlegungen im EU-Kontext der Vorrang der Beschäftigungspolitik gegenüber der Sozialpolitik zu berücksichtigen ist und die EUInstitutionen sorgsam darauf achten werden, daß die vier Grundfreiheiten eingehalten sowie die Maßnahmen der Wettbewerbs- und Beschäftigungspolitik nicht konterkariert werden.
