THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 51 and 235, thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, drawn up after consulting the Administrative Commission on Social Security for Migrant Workers(1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Commitee(3),

Whereas it is necessary to amend Regulations (EEC)

No 1408/71(4) and No 574/72(5) as updated by Regulation (EEC) No 2001/83(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3427/89(7); whereas certain of these amendments are connected with changes made by the Member States in their social security legislation, while others are of a technical nature and are intended to improve these Regulations in the light of experience gained from implementing them;

Whereas the amendments made to Article 57 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 by Regulation (EEC) No 2332(8) make it necessary to alter Article 12 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71;

Whereas it has proved necessary, following the judgment delivered by the Court of Justice in Case 302/84 (Ten Holder) on 12 June 1986, to insert a new subparagraph (f) in Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 in order to determine what legislation is applicable to persons to whom one Member State's legislation ceases to be applicable without the legislation of another Member State becoming applicable to them, in accordance with one of the

rules laid down in the previous subparagraphs of the same Article 13 (2) or one of the exceptions provided for in Articles 14 to 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71; whereas this amendment also makes it necessary to alter Article 17 of the same Regulation;

Whereas a new provision must be inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 to exempt pensioners from the legislation of the State of residence when they are already entitled to sickness insurance, maternity and family benefits under the legislation of another Member State;

Whereas it has proved necessary to supplement Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 in order to specify the wages or salaries to be taken into account in the case of frontier-zone workers for the application of the legislation of those Member States in which the calculation of invalidity benefits is based on wages or salaries;

Whereas it has proved necessary, following the judgement delivered by the Court of Justice in Case 58/87 (Rebmann) on 29 June 1988, to insert a new paragraph in Article 45 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 providing that the Member State in which the worker resides shall take account for pensions purposes of periods of full unemployment completed by this worker in respect of which benefits have been paid by that State under Article 71 (1) (a) (ii) and (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71;

Whereas it has also proved necessary, for Member States whose legislation provides for the calculation of old-age benefits to be based on wages or salaries, to supplement Article 47 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 by specifying the wage or salary to be taken into account where the frontier-zone worker has not completed any period of occupation in the country of residence;

Whereas a loophole has been found in Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 in respect of the unemployed persons who were formerly employed as mentioned in Article 71 (1) (a) (ii) and (b) (ii) who reside in the territory of the same Member State as the members of their families; whereas this loophole should be remedied by inserting a provision to the effect that the Member State of residence which provides sickness and maternity benefits under Articles 25 (2) and 39 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 shall also pay family benefits to the person concerned;

Whereas it seems necessary, following the addition, by this Regulation, of an eighth paragraph to Article 45 of

Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, to give the person concerned the right to ask for benefits awarded under the former system to be reviewed in his favour; Whereas Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 must be amended as a result of the transfer of responsibility for medical services in Gibraltar;

Whereas Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 must be amended because of the introduction in the United Kingdom of a severe disablement allowance, the value of which does not depend on the length of periods of insurance;

Whereas Section 'A. Belgium' to Regulation (EEC)

No 1408/71 should be amended in order to solve the problem of conversion into Belgian francs of income received by self-employed persons in a foreign currency;

Whereas certain entries in section 'C. Germany' of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 must be amended to take account of several changes of form and substance made in German sickness insurance and pensions insurance legislation; whereas account should in particular be taken of a special feature of German legislation whereby recognition of a pension insurance period depends only on the person concerned residing in Germany; whereas, in order to protect migrant workers, the instances in which that condition is deemed to be fulfilled by workers who raise their children in another Member State should be specified;

Whereas, following the insertion by this Regulation of a new Article 13 (2) (f) in Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, section 'G. Ireland' and and section 'L. United Kingdom' of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 should be amended to clarify the implementation of this new provision with respect to these two States;

Whereas section 'J. Netherlands' of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 must be amended because of changes in the arrangements for collection of contributions and the abolition of the age limit for the obligation to contribute to social insurance; whereas point 1 (b) of the same section also needs to be amended in the interests of clarity;

Whereas section 'L. United Kingdom' of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 should be amended as a result of the abolition of the British maternity allowance,

the introduction of a new lump-sum benefit for widows, the change in the manner of calculating earnings giving rise to Class 1 national insurance contributions and the introduction of the severe disablement allowance;

Whereas Article 4 (10) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC)

No 574/72 should be amended in order to take account of the fact that the former paragraph 2 of Article 14d of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 has become paragraph 3 by virtue of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3811/86(9) and to include a reference to

Article 8

and to the new Article 10b of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 inserted by this Regulation;

Whereas, following the insertion by this Regulation into Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of a new Article 13 (2) (f) stipulating that persons to whom the legislation of a Member State ceases to apply without the legislation of another Member State becoming applicable to them shall be subject to the legislation of the Member State in whose territory they reside, a provision is required stipulating when, and under what conditions, this legislation ceases to be applicable;

Whereas a reference to Article 14d (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 must be inserted in Article 107 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 for the purposes of stipulating the conversion rate to be applied for collection of contributions under this provision when it is necessary to convert into national currency the earnings received by an employed or self-employed person in the currency of another Member State;

Whereas Annex 2 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 should be amended in order to take account of organizational changes in Denmark involving the division of the Danish National Social Security Office, and of the transfer of responsibility for Gibraltar's medical services and the division of the Department of Health and Social Security in Great Britain into two separate departments;

Whereas Annex 3 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 should be amended in order to take account of the division of the Danish National Social Security Office, of the fact that as from 1 January 1991 the German accident insurance bodies

will have sole responsibility for benefits for accidents at work or occupational diseases in Germany and of the transfer of responsibility for Gibraltar's medical services and the division of the Department of Health and Social Security in Great Britain into two separate departments;

Whereas Annex 4 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 must be amended to take account of the new function assigned to the Belgian Accidents at Work Fund, which is to act as the liaison body for accidents at work, the division of the Danish National Social Security Office, the change in the name of the German liaison body for sickness insurance and the division of the Department of Health and Social Security in Great Britain into two separate departments;

Whereas Annex 5 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 must

be amended because of the change in the Agreement of

7 February 1964 between the Netherlands and Belgium on family and childbirth allowances and in order to take account of the changes in the Agreement of 20 July 1978 between Germany and Luxembourg, which no longer covers benefits in kind for accidents at work and occupational diseases;

Whereas the sections on Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland and the United Kingdom of Annex 10 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 should be amended in order to indicate the institutions designated by the competent authorities for implementation of Articles 14c of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and 12a (7) and (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 for those States;

Whereas sections 'B. Denmark' and 'C.

Germany' of Annex 10 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72, the reference to Article 14c (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, following the amendments made by Regulation (EEC) No 3811/86;

Whereas section 'C. Germany' of Annex 10 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 must be amended to take account of the fact that as from 1 January 1991 the German accident insurance bodies will have sole responsibility for benefits in respect of accidents at work or occupational diseases in Germany, of the fact that the former paragraph 2 of Article 14d of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 has become paragraph 3 and of the change in the name of the German liaison body for sickness insurance;

Whereas the former paragraph 2 of Article 14d of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 has become the new paragraph 3 and the references to this provision must therefore be corrected in sections 'F. Greece' and 'I.

Luxembourg' of Annex 10 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72;

Whereas section 'F. Greece' of Annex 10 to Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 must be amended to take account of the transfer of competence between the Greek social security institutions for mariners;
