Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Liechtenstein employment periods could be credited toward Swiss unemployment benefit entitlement under FZA/EFTA coordination rules.
Decisione estratta
No. The relevant coordination instruments did not allow counting the Liechtenstein periods for this claimant's Swiss unemployment insurance claim.
Motivazione estratta
Liechtenstein is outside the territorial scope of the FZA for Switzerland, and the EFTA Agreement did not help because the claimant is a German national, not an EFTA national. The bilateral Swiss-Liechtenstein unemployment agreement could only help if Switzerland was the claimant's residence state and, even then, at most one to two months of Liechtenstein employment could be credited, far short of the twelve-month contribution period.
