Perception of the EU rules - organisations Based on your organisation’s experience, you conclude that EU rules on coordination of unemployment benefits Option A: do not need to be neither changed, nor better explained and are correctly applied in practice. Option B: do not need to be changed, but should be better applied in practice. Option C: do not need to be changed, but should be better explained. Option D: difficult to say. Option E: need to be changed.
