Request for a preliminary ruling from the Cour administrative d’appel de Nancy (France) lodged on 7 June 2018 — Ministre de l’Action et des Comptes publics v Mr and Mrs Raymond Dreyer

(Case C-372/18)

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

Question referred

Do the contributions allocated to the Caisse nationale de solidarité pour l’autonomie (National Solidarity Fund for Independent Living), which contribute to the funding of the benefits in question, have a direct and sufficiently relevant link with certain branches of social security listed in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 ( 1 ) and do they therefore come within the scope of that regulation solely on the ground that those benefits relate to one of the risks set out in that Article 3 and are granted without any discretionary assessment on the basis of a legally defined position?

( 1 ) Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems (OJ 2004 L 166, p. 1).
