application ofsocial security schemes toemployed persons andtheir
families moving within ,theCommunity .

3.Changes have been made intheDanish legislation onsocial security
during the drawing upoftheDocuments concerning the accession and
after the .signing ofthese Documents .Itwastherefore notpossible
totake these changes into consideration when making the technical
adaptations toRegulation (EEC )No1*K)8/71,which appear inAnnex 1
tothe Act concerning the conditions ofAccession and the Adjust -
2ments totheTreaties ,Chapter IX-Social Policy ,point 1.
Annex IItothesaid Act ,Chapter VII -Social Policy point 1
also provided that "the Regulation istobeamended tothe extent
3that amendments made toDanish legislation sorequire ". -
This communication isconcerned with theadaptations which have
become necessary asaresult ofchanges intheDanish legislation .
The changes which must betaken into account are theresult ofnew
public health legislation (lawNo3H »9June 1971 )>newlegislation
ondaily cash benefits incase ofsickness ormaternity (lawNo262 ,
7June 1972 ),andoflaws amending theexisting legislation on
old-age pensions (lawNo237 »7June 1972 ),invalid persons
(lawNo238 ,7June 1972 )andwidows pensions (lawNo239 >7June 1972 ).
All these laws cone into force oneither 1January 1973 or
1April 1973 .
Ineffect theDanish legislation intheaforementioned fields
hasundergone substantial alterations ,which canbesummed upas
follows :
(i)Thelawonpublic health replaces thepresent sickness insurance
scheme byasystem akin tothat administered bynational health
services ,and covering all residents ;
(ii)Thelawondaily benefits incase ofsickness ormaternity
provides for thegranting ofthese benefits totheactive

NoL73,27March 1972 ,p.127 .

-3- DEL/200/72-E
(iii)Thepension laws introduce acalculation system based onforty
years' residence ,tobeacoomplished between the age offifteen
and the date when therisk materializes .The right toapension
isacquired after oneyear 'sresidence ,and theamount isin
direct proportion tothenumber ofyears spent asaresident or
treated assuch . Itshould benoted that inrespect ofold
age this new system ,which approaches the oneadopted inthe
Member States ,has been introduced particularly inview of
Danish accession totheEuropean Communities ,and theapplication
ofArticle 51ofthe Treaty toDanish legislation .But the
applicability oftheprinciple ofequal pay for equal work and
thetransferability ofbenefits topresent legislation infact
caused fears ofpossible abuse .This isbecause present
legislation has very liberal conditions for entitlement to
pensions ;theright toafull pension isacquired merely after
having been resident inDenmark intheyear immediately before
thedate ofretirement .However ,thenew system serves adual
purpose for old age byproviding for thegranting ofafull
pension without anyproportional reduction topeople who can
prove tenyears ofresidence inDenmark ,five ofwhich must be
immediately before retirement age .
Thetechnical adaptations toRegulation (EEC)No1^08/71made necessary
bythenewDanish legislation resulted inparticular from the fact .-.>
that inmost oftheareas concerned ,entitlement tobenefits is
conditional onresidence .However ,inthesixMember States and
the twoother acceding States entitlement tobenefits isnormally
conditional oninsurance oremployment ,with theexception ofthe
National Health Services and family allowances inGreat Britain and
Ireland .
Forreasons explained below ,ithasbeen necessary toadjust certain
provisions ofTitle IIIchapter 1concerning sickness /maternity

-^a DEL/200/72-E
insurance totake account ofthenew health-care system introduced
inDenmark .These provisions also apply tolegislations inGreat
Britain and Ireland which are very similar .However inthe case
ofIreland these adaptations will require aslight amendment to
Annex VoftheRegulation togive them full effect ;however this
amendment cannot bebrought inonthebasis .ofthis particular
report .

RegulationcouldnotbeappliedtoDenmarkwithoutdistortingthe
principles whicharefundamental totheruleswhichlaydownthat
theexpensesshallbebornebytheinstitutions ,whichwouldbeto
ithedetrimentoftheDanishinstitutions .

-5- DEL/200/72-E
This applies also to:
(i)Article 19(2 ),which lays down that themembers ofthefamily
ofaworker who isemployed inoneMember State and who
themselves are resident inanother Member State shall be
eligible inthat State forbenefits inkind from the
institution intheir place ofresidence .But these benefits
shall beprovided onbehalf oftheinstitution with which the
worker isinsured unless themembers ofthe family are
entitled tobenefits under thelegislation oftheState of
residence .
When applied totherelations between thepresent sixMember
,States ,this provision normally means that the expense of
benefits thus provided should beborne bytheinstitution
with which thehead ofthe family isinsured .However ,
this isonly possible ifthemembers ofthefamily are entitled
tobenefits under thelegislation ofthe country inonly
relatively rare circumstances ,inparticular ifthe wife of
the worker isgainfully employed inthat country .
The situation would becompletely different between Denmark
and another Member State .Infact ,ifaworker isemployed
inacountry other than Denmark ,themembers ofhisfamily
resident inDenmark are entitled tobenefits bythevery fact
oftheir residence .Under thepresent Article 19(2 )benefits
would therefore beprovided for them inall instances at
the expense oftheDanish institutions ,which atthe same time
would bear the expense ofbenefits provided inanother
Member State formembers ofthe family ofaworker employed
inDenmark .
Toavoid this sort ofuneven distribution ofexpense ,itis
proposed toaddanewsubparagraph toArticle 19(2 ).This

-5a- DEL/200/72-E
wouldonlyapplytomembersoffamiliesresidinginthe

(ii)Articles27and28,whichguaranteepensionersandtheir
familiessicknessinsurancebenefit,andwhichdetermine
whichinstitutions shouldbeartheexpenseofbenefits.
•••/1»•

-6- DEL/200/72-E
When these provisions are applxed torelations between ,theMember
States ,the expense ofproviding such benefits should beborne by
theMember State orone oftheMember States from which apension
isdue .
Itwould bedifferent forapensioner permanently resident in
Denmark .Ashewould beentitled tobenefits bythemere fact of
his residence inDenmark ,anybenefits given tohim ormembers of
his family would all beatDanish expense even ifthepensioner is
not entitled toapension under Danish legislation .
Toput this situation torights itisproposed :
(a) firstly toamend Article 27bystating that itshall only
apply topensioners whoare entitled todraw pensions under
thelegislation ofseveral Member States ,including that of
theMember State inwhose territory heisresident ;
(b) tointroduce anewArticle 28a ,theshortness ofwhich can
beattributed tothenewsubparagraph added toArticle 19(2 )
and toArticle 28.Thenewaddition isdesigned toregulate
thesituation ofpensioners entitled toapension under
either thelegislation ofasingle Member State orthat of
several Member States other than the State inwhich heis
resident when entitlement tobenefits depends onbeing
resident inthis State .Like Article 28,this newprovision
imposes theexpense ofproviding benefits for thepensioner
andmembers ofhis family ontheState oronone oftheStates
from which apension isdue .
These adaptations ,which respect thespirit inwhich Articles 19,
27and28were drawn up,arealso applicable totheBritish and
Irish legislation which arelikewise based onresidence .However
inthe case ofIreland ,where theextent ofbenefits inkind depends
ontheresources ofthepensioner ,special application procedures

DEL/200/72-E
must beprovided toprevent certain categories ofpeople from being
partially orwholly excluded from these benefits .

-7- DEL/200/72-E
Article 28(2 )(b)
Itisproposed toamend the wording ofthe text totake account of
thefact that Danish legislation onpensions does notrecognize the
concept period of"insurance ".
Article 31>heading
With theintroduction ofanArticle 28a ,itisproposed that the
previous wording oftheheading tothis provision should beused
again ,itbeing more general andappropriate .
Article 33
This provision should contain amention ofthenewArticle 2oa .
Title III ,Chapter 2Invalidity :title ofSection 1,Articles 37(1 )
and38(1 )Annex III . B.DENMARK
ThenewDanish legislation oninvalid pensions provides that a
pension begranted inproportion tothelength oftheperiods of
residence .
Consequently ,
(a) there should nolonger beanyreference toperiod ofresidence
inthe title ofSection 1norinArticles 37(1 )aftd38,
title and (1),asthis Section does notapply toDanish
legislation :
(b) point B.DENMARK should bedeleted from Annex III .

-8- DEL/200/72-E
Articles ^(l);77(2 )(b)(ii);78(2 )(b)(ii);79(2 )and (*f)
Thenew Danish legislation onpensions only takes account ofperiods
ofresidence completed after the age of15*Therefore ,itisno
longer necessary tostate that theperiods ofresidence which have
tobetaken account ofare those "completed after reaching the
minimum school leaving age for theperson concerned ,under alegis­
lation under which entitlement tobenefits issubject tothe com­
pletion ofperiods ofresidence ". This simplification ofthe
wording allows forthe expression "periods ofresidence "tobe
introduced into Articles 77»78and79andforArticle 79(^)tobe
deleted .
Article .Annex V.B. DENMAKK(5 )
Inthenewsystem ofcalculating pensions which hasbeen introduced ,
theamount ofbenefit granted isproportional tothenumber ofyears
residence oompleted .Therefore ,there isnolonger sufficient
justification forretaining this particular provision ,asithad
been adopted totake account oftheapplicability conditions laid
down bypresent legislation ,viz .oneyear 'sresidence inDenmark
immediately before thematerialization oftherisk .However ,if
this condition nolonger appears inthenewlegislation ,what the
latter does stipulate asacondition for theacquisition ofentitle­
ment isthat Denmark bethenormal place ofresidence .This
condition does not run contrary tothe interest ofworkers whoare
nolonger resident inDenmark atthe time they apply for apension .
Itistherefore proposed tolift this condition while stipulating
inAnnex Vthat theprovisions ofthepension laws which lay it
down shall not apply toworkers ortheir survivors whoare resident
intheterritory ofaMember State other than Denmark .

Title III ,Chapter k;title ofSection 1andArticle 51a
This provision isnolonger necessary due tothe fact that entitle­

Article'6k
Astheright todeath grants mDenmark xssubject toasixmonth

deceased worker could come under thelegislation ofDenmark and one

(iv)Paragraph 6(new )
Under Danish legislation theright toawidows pension isa
personal right andnot aright arising under another person .
Therefore aprovision should beincluded which ensures that
widows ofworkers employed inDenmark shall beentitled to
benefits under Danish legislation ,even ifthey have never
been resident inDenmark ,insofar asthey areresident in
the territory ofaMember State .
(v)Paragraph 7(new )
Thenew Danish legislation contains transitional provisions
designed forDanish nationals tobridge thetransition between
theapplicability ofthepresent legislation ,with very broad
conditions for entitlement ,and thenewlegislation ,which is
much stricter onthis point .Fdrinstance itwill berecalled
that togrant afull pension forinvalidity and subsistence ,

immediately before theoccurence ofthe event toforty years
(which includes nominal periods ,itnust beadded ). For
anold agepension this condition shall beraised from one
year immediately preceding retirement toeither forty years

ment age .

tobeapplicable for acertain period oftime ,andnolater
than 30June 1975 -
For old age ,less strict conditions ofresidence arelaid down
forDanish nationals born before 1918 .Itisproposed
toextend entitlement tothese transitional provisions to
nationals from other Member States insofar asthey can
prove athree year period ofresidence inDenmark immediately
before the date onwhich anapplication forapension isfiled .
