(2004/C 190/23)
Reference has been made to the Court of Justice of the European Communities by a judgment of the Cour du travail de Liège (Employment Court, Liège), section de Neufchâteau, of 9 June 2004, which was received at the Court Registry on 11 June 2004, for a preliminary ruling in the case of José Allard against the Institut national d'assurances sociales pour travailleurs indépendants (INASTI) on the following questions:
|
1. |
Do Articles 13 et seq. of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community (1) preclude a contribution such as the reduction contribution under Royal Decree No 289 of 31 March enacting certain temporary measures for the reduction of the income of self-employed persons with a view to reducing the public debt burden and ensuring the financial equilibrium of social security schemes for self-employed persons from being calculated in such a way as to include in income from an occupation the income which a self-employed person has obtained by carrying on an occupation in the territory of a Member State other than the State of taxation in circumstances where the self-employed person may not, as a result of paying that contribution, claim any social or other benefit at the expense of that State? |
|
2. |
Do the Treaty of Rome of 25 March 1957 establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 39 and 43 thereof (formerly Articles 48 and 52), preclude a contribution calculated on that basis from being imposed on self-employed persons who exercise their right to freedom of movement? |
