Revised Rules of Procedure of the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed the revised text of the rules of the Administrative Commission set up by Article 71 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the coordination of social security systems.

These rules, drawn up by mutual agreement among the members of the Administrative Commission pursuant to the provisions of Article 71(2)(1) of the above-mentioned Regulation, lay down the basic internal organisation of the Administrative Commission and its proceedings.

The revision of the rules has been rendered necessary due to the entry into application of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 and the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon amending the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, signed at Lisbon, 13 December 2007.

I would appreciate it if you could inform me of any observations you may wish to make.

Yours faithfully,

Keyina MPEYE

Chairman of the Administrative Commission
