Language of the case: French
Referring court
Cour administrative d’appel de Nancy
Parties to the main proceedings
Appellant: Ministre de l’Action et des Comptes publics
Respondents: Mr and Mrs Raymond Dreyer
Operative part of the judgment
Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems must be interpreted as meaning that benefits, such as the personal independence allowance and the disability compensation allowance, must, for the purposes of their classification as ‘social security contributions’ within the meaning of that provision, be regarded as granted without any individual assessment of a recipient’s personal needs, since the recipient’s resources are taken into account for the sole purpose of calculating the actual amount of those benefits on the basis of legally defined, objective criteria.
