Advice for cross-border commuters guaranteed for the coming years

Cross-border commuters in the Euregio Rhine-Waal can continue to count on the services of the Border Information Point in the coming years. This week, Helga Witjes, Member of the Provincial Executive of Gelderland, symbolically presented a cheque for more than €731.944 to Euregio Chairman Hubert Bruls. This contribution will enable the Euregio Rhine-Waal Border Information Point (GIP) in Kleve to continue providing its services until the end of 2028.

The Border Information Point is part of a network of Border Information Points along the Dutch-German-Belgian border. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, the border provinces and the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony have jointly decided to continue to provide financial support to these points in the coming years. The funds will be used for the further development of services, so that residents who live, study, work or have worked across the border can receive proper assistance with questions about social security, health insurance and taxes, among other things.

During the visit to the Border Information Point in Kleve, attention was paid to developments and challenges in the border region. Good information and guidance are essential for a strong and accessible cross-border labour market. The Border Information Point of the Euregio Rhine-Waal works closely with the Office for German Affairs of the Social Insurance Bank, Deutsche Rentenversicherung, FNV, CNV and DGB. The GIP plays a key role in this for cross-border workers, students, migrant workers and employers. Personal contact with the staff of the Border Information Point makes all the difference.

The Euregio Rhine-Waal greatly appreciates the fact that the Province of Gelderland, together with its partners in the Netherlands and Germany, remains committed to a sustainable cross-border labour market and looks forward to working together in the coming years.
