Building on long evolution
• More than 50 years of social security coordination
• Unique character of European coordination: role of Court of Justice
• Illustration:– Provisions declared invalid (Habelt, Pinna)– Interpretation contra legem (Bosmann)– Coordination provisions complemented by direct
application of Treaty provisions (cross-border health care)
– Coordination provisions do not always have the last word (De Cuyper, Petersen)

Major changes of new system
• Simplification to some extent, in particular in Titles I and II:– General aggregation provision– Better wording and structure of provisions– Lesser exceptions to general rules– Extension of personal scope also contributed
to simplification

Simplification
• Importance of simplification not to be overestimated:– Reg 883 is not simple– Number of annexes has increased– Anex III: « Restriction of rights to benefits in
kind for members of the family of a frontier worker » Role of EP on this annex
– Annexes IV and V: « More rights for…. »

insurance or residence– B systems: amount of benefit depends on periods of insurance
or residence
• Dual coordination system under 1408:• If person has been insured exclusively under A systems: one
(whole)pension: last MS • In all other cases: chapter "old-age pensions" applies: person
receives 2 or more partial pensions:Every MS calculates first amount under national law (including anti-
overlapping provisions)Every MS also calculates "prorata" pension Every MS grants highest amount of the two benefits

Chapter 4: invalidity
• Regulation 883/2004: dual coordination system in principle maintained, but:
• "One pension" system only applies if person has been insured exclusively under A system and if all MS concerned are listed as A System in Annex VI. • Example: person has been insured in Belgium,
France and Netherlands. Under 1408: one pension (only NL). Under 883: 3 partial pensions

![Page 22: 2010 - Reg 883/2004 and 987/2009: modernised social security coordination](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546f6645af7959f4658b4569/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Unemployment: measures to facilitate geographical mobility
• Unemployed persons receiving ub can go to another MS to seek work without losing ub under certain conditions and limitations:• Maximimum period: 3 months (same as 1408). But: period may be
extended to a maximum of 6 months. • Person loses all entitlement to benefits if he does not return
before maximum period (same as 1408), "unless the provisions of that legislation are more favourable“ (sanction less rigid)
• Benefits are paid directly by competent institution (1408: benefits are paid by institution of MS where persons seeks work; reimbursement by competent institution)
• Person can make use of this possibility several times as long as overall maximum period is respected (1408: provision may be invoked only once between 2 periods of unemployment
![Page 23: 2010 - Reg 883/2004 and 987/2009: modernised social security coordination](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546f6645af7959f4658b4569/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Residing in MS other than competent MS
• Commission proposal: do away with special rules: MS of last employment should pay ub
• Commission proposal not accepted
• Wholly unemployed treated differently than partially unemployed (same 1408)
• Frontier workers treated differently than non-frontier workers (same as 1408)
![Page 24: 2010 - Reg 883/2004 and 987/2009: modernised social security coordination](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546f6645af7959f4658b4569/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Residing in MS other than competent MS
• Non frontier workers : 3 choices (same as 1408). They can• look for work in State of last employment and stay there: receive
benefit from this MS• first look for work in MS of last employment and then go to State
of residence while maintaining 3 (possibly 6) months benefits from MS of last employment
• go directly to MS of residence; receive benefits there.
• Frontier workers : no option as to State paying ub. They receive benefits in State of residence and must register there (same as 1408). But: they can also look for work in MS of last employment. • Is only "supplementary" step.
• Obligations and job-seeking activities in MS of residence have priority

Chapter 7: preretirement benefits
• Only 1 article (Article 66): aggregation provision does not apply. Reason given by Regulation 883/04 itself (recital 33): only a very limited number of MS have statutory pre-retirement benefits
![Page 26: 2010 - Reg 883/2004 and 987/2009: modernised social security coordination](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546f6645af7959f4658b4569/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Chapter 8: family benefits
• Structure of chapter improved and simplified
• Chapter only has 3 articles (1408 had 12 articles divided in 2 chapters)
• No difference any more between treatment of workers and pensioners
• No difference any more between "family benefits" and "family allowances"
![Page 27: 2010 - Reg 883/2004 and 987/2009: modernised social security coordination](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546f6645af7959f4658b4569/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Family benefits
• Clear priority rules in event of overlapping:
1.rights available on basis of work
2.rights available on basis of pension
3.rights available on basis of residence.
• Example: family resides in MS A; father draws pension from MS B; mother works in MS C. MS competent by priority: firstly: MS C, then MS B, then MS A.

Family benfits
• If amounts in other MS are higher than MS designated by priority: differential supplement
• Unresolved question: how to calculate
differential amount: comparison by child or by family?
