Request for a preliminary ruling from the Centrale Raad van Beroep (Netherlands) lodged on 17 October 2013 — Raad van bestuur van de Sociale verzekeringsbank v E. Fischer-Lintjens

(Case C-543/13)

2014/C 15/07

Language of the case: Dutch

Referring court

Centrale Raad van Beroep

Parties to the main proceedings

Appellant: Raad van bestuur van de Sociale verzekeringsbank

Respondent: E. Fischer-Lintjens

Questions referred

1.

Must the term ‘payable’, as used in Article 27 et seq. of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, (1) be interpreted as meaning that the decisive factor for the purpose of determining the point in time from which a pension is payable is the date of the decision to make an award, after which the pension is paid, or the commencement date of the pension awarded with retroactive effect?

2.

If the term ‘payable’ refers to the commencement date of the pension awarded with retroactive effect:

Can this be reconciled with the fact that the person entitled to receive the pension who comes under Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 cannot, under Netherlands legislation, take out medical care insurance with the same retroactive effect?


(1)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community (OJ, English Special Edition 1971(II), p. 416).
