Social security schemes and freedom of movement of persons: implementing rules
This Council Regulation lays down practical rules for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 on the coordination of social security schemes for persons moving within the Community.
ACT
Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 of 21 March 1972 fixing the procedure for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community [See amending acts].
SUMMARY
The Regulation identifies the competent institutions in each Member State, the documents to be produced and the formalities to be completed in order to receive benefits. It sets out the procedures for administrative and medical checks and the reimbursement conditions for benefits provided by an institution in one Member State on behalf of an institution in another Member State. It also describes the functions of the Audit Board.
Repealing Regulation (EEC) No 574/72
Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 was adopted in order to simplify and clarify the coordination of Member States’ social security systems. This new reference framework will facilitate the free movement of European citizens within the Community territory. It strengthens the cooperation requirements of national administrations with regard to social security and makes electronic exchange of data between administrations obligatory.
Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 is repealed. However, some of the Regulation’s provisions remain in force in order to ensure the legal certainty of related Community acts and agreements.
