A rticle 6 
General rules for the implementation of provisions dealing 
with the prevention of overlapping of benefits — application 
of those provisions to benefits in respect of invalidity, old

Where a person entitled to a benefit due under the 
legislation of one Member State is also entitled to 
benefit under the legislation of one or more of the 
other Member States or of Turkey, the following 
rules shall apply: 
(a) if the application of Article 8 (2) or (3) of the 
Decision entails the reduction or the concurrent 
suspension of those benefits, none of them may 
be reduced or suspended by an amount greater 
than the amount obtained by dividing the sum 
which is subject to reduction or suspension 
under the legislation by virtue of which the ben­
efit is due by the number of benefits subject to 
reduction or suspension to which the person 
concerned is entitled; 
(b) as regards benefits in respect of invalidity, old 
age or death (pensions) awarded under 
Articles 12 and 13 of the Decision by the institu­
tion of a Member State, that institution shall 
take into account any benefits of a different 
kind and any income or remuneration likely to 
entail the reduction or suspension of the benefit 
due from that institution not for the calculation 
of the theoretical amount referred to in 
Article 46 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71 but exclusively for the reduction or suspension of the amount referred to in 
Article 46 (2) (b) of that Regulation. However, 
only a fraction of the total amount of such 
benefit income or remuneration shall be taken 
into account and that fraction shall be deter­
mined in proportion to the duration of the 
periods of insurance completed in accordance 
with Article 46 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71. 
Article 7 
Rules applicable in the case of overlapping of rights to sick­
ness or maternity benefits under the legislation of several 
Member States 
If a worker or a member of his family is entitled to 
claim maternity benefits under the legislations of 
two or more Member States, those benefits shall be 
granted exclusively under the legislation of the 
Member State in whose territory the confinement 
took place or, if the confinement did not take place 
in the territory of one of these Member States, exclu­
sively under the legislation of the Member State to 
which the worker was last subject. 
If a worker is entitled to claim sickness benefits 
under the legislations of Ireland and the United 
Kingdom for the same period of incapacity for 
work, those benefits shall be granted exclusively 
under the legislation of the Member State to which 
the worker was last subject. 
If a worker or member of his family is entitled for 
the same period to claim sickness benefits, benefits 
with respect to accidents at work or occupational 
disease under Greek legislation and under the legis­
lation of one or more other Member States, these 
benefits shall be granted exclusively under the legis­
lation to which the worker was last subject. 
Article 8 
Rules applicable in the case of overlapping of rights to death 
grants under the legislation of several Member States 
1. Where the death occurs in the territory of a 
Member State, the right to a death grant acquired 
NoC 110/4 Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 4. 83 
under the legislation of that Member State only 
shall be maintained, whilst the right acquired under 
the legislation of any other Member State shall 
lapse. 
2. Where the death occurs in the territory of one 
Member State when the right to a death grant has 
been acquired under the legislation of two or more 
other Member States, or where the death occurs out­
side the territory of a Member State and the said 
right has been acquired under the legislation of two 
or more Member States, only the right acquired 
under the legislation of the Member State to which 
the deceased person was last subject shall be main­
tained, whilst the right acquired under the legisla­
tion of any other Member State shall lapse. 
Article 9 
Rules applicable in the case of overlapping of rights to fam­
ily benefits or family allowances or when, during the same 
period or part of a period, the worker is successively subject 
to the legislation of several Member States 
1. Entitlement to family benefits or family allow­
ances due under the legislation of a Member State, 
according to which acquisition of the right to those 
benefits or allowances is not subject to conditions of 
insurance or employment, shall be suspended when, 
during the same period and for the same member of 
the family, family allowances are due in pursuance 
of Article 19(1) of the Decision and family allow­
ances and, where appropriate, supplementary or 
special allowances for orphans are due in pursuance 
of Article 19 (2) of the Decision. If, however, a pen­
sioner who is entitled to family allowances under 
Article 19 (1) of the Decision, his spouse, or the per­
son looking after the orphans for whom allowances 
are due under Article 19(2) of the Decision exer­
cises a professional or trade activity in the territory 
of the said Member State, entitlement to family 
allowances due in pursuance of Article 19 (1) or (2) 
of the Decision under the legislation of another 
Member State shall be suspended; where this is the 
case, the person concerned shall be entitled to the 
family allowances and, where appropriate, supple­
mentary or special allowances for orphans of the Member State in whose territory the children reside, 
the cost to be borne by that Member State. 
2. If a worker has been subject successively to the 
legislation of two Member States during the period 
separating two dates for the payment of family 
benefits or family allowances as provided for by the 
legislation of one or both of the Member States con­
cerned, the following rules shall apply: 
(a) the family benefits or family allowances which 
such worker may claim by virtue of being sub­
ject to the legislation of each one of these States 
shall correspond to the number of daily benefits 
or allowances due under the relevant legislation. 
Where these legislations do not provide for 
daily benefits or allowances, the family benefits 
or family allowances shall be granted in propor­
tion to the length of time during which such 
worker has been subject to the legislation of 
each one of the Member States in relation to the 
period fixed by the legislation concerned; 
(b) where the family benefits or family allowances 
have been provided by an institution during a 
period when they should have been provided by 
another institution, there shall be an adjustment 
of accounts between the said institutions; 
(c) for the purposes of subparagraphs (a) and (b) 
where periods of employment completed under 
the legislation of one Member State are 
expressed in units different from those which 
are used in the calculation of family benefits or 
family allowances under the legislation of 
another Member State to which the worker has 
also been subject during the same period, the 
conversion shall be carried out in accordance 
with the provisions of Article 13(3) of the 
Implementing Regulation; 
(d) notwithstanding the provisions of subpara­
graph (a), in respect of dealings between the 
Member States listed in Annex 6 to the Imple­
menting Regulation, the institution bearing the 
costs of the family benefits or family allowances 
by reason of the first employment during the 
period concerned shall bear their cost through­
out the whole of the current period.

RELATING TO THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF BENEFITS 
CHAPTER 1 
GENERAL RULES FOR THE AGGREGATION OF 
PERIODS 
Article 13 
1. Aggregation of periods for the purposes of 
Articles 10, 12, 13 and 16 of the Decision in so far as 
they apply by analogy Articles 18 (1), 38, 45 (1) and 
(2) and Article 64 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 
shall be effected in accordance with the following 
rules; 
(a) to periods of insurance or residence completed 
under the legislation of one Member State shall 
be added periods of insurance or residence 
completed under the legislation of any other 
Member State, to the extent that it is necessary 
to have recourse thereto in order to supplement 
periods of insurance or residence completed 
under the legislation of the first Member State 
for the purpose of acquiring, retaining, or recov­
ering the rights to benefits, provided that such 
periods of insurance or residence do not over­
lap. Where benefits in respect of invalidity, old 
age or death (pensions) are to be awarded by the 
institutions of two or more Member States in 
accordance with the provisions of Article 46 (2) 
of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, each of the 
institutions concerned shall effect a separate 
aggregation, by taking into account the whole of 
the periods of insurance or residence completed 
by the worker under the legislations of all the 
Member States to which he has been subject, 
without prejudice, where appropriate, to the 
provisions of Article 45 (2) and Article 46 (2) (c) 
of that Regulation; 
(b) when a period of insurance or residence com­
pleted under compulsory insurance under the 
legislation of one Member State coincides with 
a period of insurance completed under volun­
tary or optional continued insurance under the 
legislation of another Member State, only the 
period completed under compulsory insurance 
shall be taken into account; 
(c) when a period of insurance or residence, other 
than a period treated as such, completed under 
the legislation of one Member State coincides 
with a period treated as such under the legisla­
tion of another Member State, only the period 
other than a period treated as such shall be 
taken into account; (d) any period treated as such under the legislations 
of two or more Member States shall be taken 
into account only by the institution of the Mem­
ber State under whose legislation the insured 
person was last compulsorily insured prior to 
the said period; where the insured person has 
not been compulsorily insured under the legisla­
tion of a Member State before the said period, 
the latter shall be taken into account by the 
institution of the Member State under whose 
legislation he was compulsorily insured for the 
first time after the said period; 
(e) where it is not possible to determine accurately 
the period of time in which certain periods of 
insurance or residence were completed under 
the legislation of one Member State, such 
periods shall be presumed not to overlap with 
periods of insurance or residence completed 
under the legislation of another Member State 
and shall, where advantageous, be taken into 
account; 
(f) where, under the legislation of one Member 
State, certain periods of insurance or residence 
are taken into account only if they have been 
completed within a specified time limit, the 
institution which administers such legislation 
shall: 
(i) only take into account periods of insurance 
or residence completed under the legislation 
of another Member State if they were com­
pleted within the said time limit; or 
(ii) extend such time limit for the duration of 
periods of insurance or residence completed 
wholly or partly within the said time limit 
under the legislation of another Member 
State, where the periods of insurance or 
residence involved under the legislation of 
the second Member State give rise only to 
the suspension of the time limit within 
which the periods of insurance or residence 
must be completed. 
2. Periods of insurance or residence completed 
under the legislation of a Member State to which 
Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 does not apply, but 
which are taken into account under the legislation 
of that Member State to which that Regulation does 
apply, shall be considered as periods of insurance or 
residence to be taken into account for the purposes 
of aggregation. 
25. 4. 83 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 110/7 
3. When periods of insurance completed under the 
legislation of one Member State are expressed in 
units different from those used by the legislation of 
another Member State, the conversion necessary for 
the purposes of aggregation shall be carried out 
according to the following rules: 
(a) where the worker has been subject to a six-day 
week: 
(i) one day shall be equivalent to eight hours 
and vice versa: 
(ii) six days shall be equivalent to one week 
and vice versa; 
(iii) 26 days shall be equivalent to one month 
and vice versa; 
(iv) three months or 13 weeks or 78 days shall be 
equivalent to one quarter and vice versa; 
(v) for the conversion of weeks into months 
and vice versa, the weeks and months shall 
be converted into days; 
(vi) the application of the preceding rules shall 
not have the effect of producing, for the 
sum total of the periods of insurance com­
pleted during one calendar year, a total 
exceeding 312 days or 52 weeks or 
12 months or four quarters; 
(b) where the worker has been subject to a five-day 
week : 
(i) one day shall be equivalent to nine hours 
and vice versa; 
(ii) five days shall be equivalent to one week

pleted during one calendar year, a total 
exceeding 264 days or 52 weeks or 
12 months or four quarters.

CertificatioD of periods of insurance 
1. In order to invoke the provisions of Article 10 of 
the Decision which applies by analogy Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, a worker shall sub­
mit to the competent institution a certified state­
ment specifying the periods of insurance completed 
under the legislation to which he was last subject. 
2. This certified statement shall be issued at the 
request of the worker by the institution or institu­
tions of the Member State to whose legislation he 
was last subject. If he does not submit the said certi­
fied statement, the competent institution shall 
obtain it from the institution or institutions con­
cerned. 
3. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall 
apply by analogy, if it is necessary to take into 
account periods of insurance previously completed 
under the legislation of any other Member State in 
order to satisfy the conditions of the legislation of 
the competent State. 
Implementation of Article 11 of the Decision 
Article 15 
The Articles of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 
applied by analogy to Turkish workers and members 
of their families by virtue of Article 11 of the Deci­
sion shall be implemented as in the following 
Articles 16 to 32. 
Implementation of Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71 
Article 16 
Benefits in kind in the case of residence in a Member State 
other than the competent State 
1. In order to receive benefits in kind under 
Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, a 
worker must register himself and the members of his 
family with the institution of his place of residence 
by submitting a certified statement testifying that he 
and the members of his family are entitled to the 
said benefits. This certified statement, based upon 
information supplied by the employer, where appro­
priate, shall be issued by the competent institution. 
If the worker or the members of his family do not 
submit the said certified statement, the institution of 
the place of residence shall obtain it from the com­
petent institution. 
2. That certified statement shall remain valid until 
the institution of the place of residence receives 
notification of its cancellation. However, when the 
said certified statement has been issued by a French 
institution, it shall be valid only for six months fol­
lowing the date of its issue and must be renewed 
every six months. 
3. If the worker is a seasonal worker, the certified 
statement referred to in paragraph 1 shall be valid 
for the whole of the expected duration of the sea­
sonal work unless, in the meanwhile, the competent 
institution notifies the institution of the place of 
residence of its cancellation. 
NoG 110/8 Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 4. 83 
4. The institution of the place of residence shall 
inform the competent institution of every registra­
tion effected in accordance with the provisions of 
paragraph 1. 
5. Upon each application for benefits in kind, the 
person concerned shall submit the supporting docu­
ments required for the granting of benefits in kind 
under the legislation of the Member State in whose 
territory he resides. 
6. In the event of hospitalization, the institution of 
the place of residence shall, within three days of 
becoming aware of the fact, notify the competent 
institution of the date of entry into hospital, the 
probable duration of hospitalization and the date of 
leaving hospital. Notification shall be unnecessary, 
however, when the costs of the benefits in kind are 
repaid in a lump sum to the institution of the place 
of residence. 
7. The institution of the place of residence shall 
notify the competent institution in advance of every 
decision relating to the granting of benefits in kind 
where the likely or actual cost exceeds a lump sum 
which is fixed and periodically reviewed by the 
Administrative Commission. The competent institu­
tion shall have 15 days from the day on which such 
information is sent within which to raise any objec­
tions and to state the reasons on which such objec­
tion is based; if, at the end of that period, no such 
objection has been raised the institution of the place 
of residence shall grant the benefits in kind. Where 
such benefits have to be granted in a case of 
extreme urgency, the institution of the place of 
residence shall forthwith inform the competent insti­
tution thereof. However, notification of its objec­
tion, stating the reasons on which such objection is 
based, shall be unneccessary when the costs of the 
benefits in kind are repaid in a lump sum to the 
institutions of the place of residence. 
8. The worker or the members of his family shall 
inform the institution of the place of residence of 
any change in their situation which is likely to alter 
their entitlement to benefits in kind, in particular 
any cessation or change of the worker's employment 
or any transfer of residence or stay of that worker or 
of a member of his family. Likewise, should the 
worker cease to be insured or cease to be entitled to 
benefits in kind, the competent institution shall 
inform the institution of the place of residence 
accordingly. The institution of the place of resid­
ence may, at any time, request the competent insti­
tution to supply it with any information relating to 
the worker's insurance or to his entitlement to 
benefits in kind. 
9. Two or more Member States or the competent 
authorities of those Member States may, having 
received the opinion of the Administrative Commis­
sion, agree on other implementing provisions. Article 17 
Cash benefits in the case of residence in a Member State 
other than the competent State 
1. In order to receive cash benefits under 
Article 19 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 a 
worker shall, within three days of commencement of 
the incapacity for work, apply to the institution of 
the place of residence by submitting a notification 
of having ceased work or, if the legislation adminis­
tered by the competent institution or by the institu­
tion of the place of residence so provides, a certifi­
cate of incapacity for work issued by the doctor 
providing treatment for the worker concerned. 
2. Where the doctors providing treatment in the 
country of residence do not issue certificates of

amount as soon as it has been determined. 
On receipt of all the forms giving information con­
cerning periods of insurance or residence and, 
where appropriate, the amount or amounts due 
under the legislation of one or more of the Member 
States concerned, the investigating institution shall 
forward a copy of the forms thus completed to each 
of the institutions concerned which shall specify 
thereon the theoretical amount and the actual 
amount of the benefits, calculated in accordance 
with the provisions of Article 46 (2) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 1408/71, and shall return the form to the 
investigating institution. 
4. As soon as the investigating institution, upon 
receipt of the information referred to in para­
graphs 2 or 3, establishes the fact that the provisions 
of Article 40 (2) or Article 48 (2) or (3) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 1408/71 should be applied, it shall 
inform the other institutions concerned accordingly. 
Article 39 
Institution empowered to take a decision relating to the 
degree of invalidity 
1. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3, 
only the investigating institution shall be empow­
ered to take the decision referred to in Article 40 (4) 
of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 concerning the 
degree of invalidity of the claimant. It shall take 
such a decision as soon as it is in a position to deter­
mine whether, taking account, where appropriate, of 
the provisions of Article 45 of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71, the conditions for entitlement fixed by 
the legislation which it administers are fulfilled. It 
shall notify such decision-forthwith to the other 
institutions concerned. 
2. If, taking account of the provisions of Article 45 
of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, the conditions for 
entitlement, other than those relating to the degree 
of invalidity, laid down by the legislation adminis­
tered by the investigating institution are not ful­
filled, that institution shall immediately notify the 
competent institution in respect of invalidity of the 
other Member State to whose legislation the worker 
was last subject. This institution shall, if the condi­
tions for entitlement laid down by the legislation 
which it administers are fulfilled, be empowered to 
take the decision relating to the degree of invalidity 
of the claimant; it shall forthwith notify that deci­
sion to the other institutions concerned. 3. Where necessary, the matter may have to be 
referred back, under the same conditions, to the 
competent institution in respect of invalidity of the 
Member State to whose legislation the worker was 
first subject. 
Article 40 
Provisional payment of benefits and advance payments of 
benefits 
1. If the investigating institution establishes that 
the claimant is entitled to benefits under the legisla­
tion which it administers without having recourse to 
periods of insurance or residence completed under 
the legislation of other Member States, it shall pay 
such benefits immediately on a provisional basis. 
2. If the claimant is not entitled to benefits under 
paragraph 1 but, from information supplied to the 
investigating institution pursuant to Article 38 (2) 
or (3) of the Implementing Regulation, it transpires 
that a right to benefits is acquired under the legisla­
tion of another Member State taking into account 
only the periods of insurance or residence com­
pleted under that legislation, the institution which 
administers the said legislation shall pay such ben­
efits on a provisional basis as soon as the investigat­
ing institution has informed it of its obligation to do 
so. 
If, in the case referred to in paragraph 2, a right to 
benefits is acquired under the legislation of more 
than one Member State, taking into account only 
those periods of insurance or residence completed 
under each one of those legislations, the payment of 
benefits on a provisional basis shall be the responsi­
bility of the institution which in the first place 
informed the investigating institution of the exist­
ence of such a right; it shall be the duty of the inves­
tigating institution to inform the other institutions 
concerned. 
4. The institution required to pay benefits under 
paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 shall forthwith inform the 
claimant of the fact, drawing his attention explicitly 
to the provisional nature of the measure taken and 
to the fact that it is not open to appeal. 
5. If no benefit is payable to the claimant on a 
provisional basis under paragraphs 1, 2 or 3, but it 
transpires from information received that a right is 
acquired under Article 46 (2) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71, the investigating institution shall pay 
him an appropriate recoverable advance, the 
amount of which shall be as close as possible to the 
amount he will probably be awarded under the said 
Article 46 (2). 
NoC 110/16 Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 4. 83 
6. Two Member States or the competent auth­
orities of those Member States may agree to apply 
other methods of payment of benefits on a provi­
sional basis in cases where only the institutions of 
those States are concerned. Any such agreements 
which are concluded on this subject shall be notified 
to the Administrative Commission. 
Article 41 
Calculation of benefits in the event of overlapping of periods 
For the calculation of the theoretical and the actual 
amount of benefit in accordance with the provisions 
of Article 46 (2) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71, the rules provided for in Article 13(1) 
(b), (c) and (d) of the Implementing Regulation 
shall apply. 
The actual amount thus established shall be 
increased by the amount corresponding to the 
periods of voluntary or optional continued insur­
ance, and shall be determined in accordance with 
the legislation under which these periods of insur­
ance were completed. 
Article 42 
Notification to the claimant of the decisions of the institu­
tions 
1. The final decisions taken by each of the institu­
tions concerned shall be forwarded to the investigat­
ing institution. Each decision must specify the legal 
remedies and periods allowed for appeals provided 
for by the legislation concerned. Upon receipt of all 
such decisions, the investigating institution shall 
notify the claimant thereof by means of a summar­
ized statement to which the said decisions shall be 
attached. The periods allowed for appeals shall run 
only from the date of receipt of the summarized 
statement by the claimant. 
2. On dispatch to the claimant of the summarized 
statement provided for in paragraph 1, the investi­
gating institution shall simultaneously forward a 
copy to each one of the institutions concerned, 
enclosing with it a copy of the decisions of the other 
institutions. 
Article 43 
Recalculation of benefits 
1. For the purposes of implementing ^the provi­
sions of Articles 49 (2) and (3) and 51 (2) of Regula­
tion (EEC) No 1408/71, the provisions of Article 40 
of the Implementing Regulation shall apply by 
analogy. 
2. In the event of recalculation, withdrawal or sus­
pension of benefit, the institution which has taken such a decision shall forthwith notify the fact to the 
person concerned and to each institution with which 
the said person has established entitlement to ben­
efit, if necessary through the intermediary of the 
investigating institution. The decision must specify 
the legal remedies and periods allowed for appeals 
provided for by the legislation concerned. The 
periods allowed for appeals shall run only from the 
date of receipt of the decision by the person 
concerned. 
Article 44 
.Measures designed to accelerate the award of benefits 
1. Where a Turkish worker who has been subject to 
the legislation of one Member State becomes sub­
ject to the legislation of another Member State, the 
competent institution in respect of pensions of the 
latter Member State shall, at the time of registration 
of the said worker, forward to the body designated 
by the competent authority of that same Member 
State (country of employment), all information 
relating to the identification of the worker, the date 
on which he commenced employment, the name of 
the said competent institution, the insurance num­
ber allotted by the latter, and any other information 
which may facilitate and accelerate the ultimate 
award of pension. 
2. The institutions concerned shall at the request 
of the worker or of the institution with which he is 
currently insured, draw up his insurance history 
starting not later than one year before the date on 
which he will reach pensionable age.

applied by analogy to Turkish workers by virtue of 
Article 15 of the Decision shall be implemented as 
in the following Articles 46 to 62. 
Implementation of Articles 52 and 53 of Regulation 
(EEC) No 1408/71 
Article 46 
Benefits in kind in the case of residence in a Member State 
other than the competent State 
1. In order to receive benefits in kind under Article 
52(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, a worker 
25. 4. 83 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 110/17 
shall submit to the institution of the place of resid­
ence a certified statement testifying that he is en­
titled to such benefits in kind. This certified state­
ment, based upon information supplied by the 
employer, where appropriate, shall be issued by the 
competent institution. Moreover, if the legislation of 
the competent State so provides, the worker shall 
submit to the institution of the place of residence a 
receipt from the competent institution of notifica­
tion of an accident at work or of an occupational 
disease. If the worker does not submit such docu­
ments, the institution of the place of residence shall 
obtain them from the competent institution and, 
pending their arrival, it shall grant him the benefits 
in kind under sickness insurance, provided that he 
satisfies the conditions for entitlement thereto. 
2. The certified statement referred to in para­
graph 1 shall remain valid until the institution of the 
place of residence receives notification of its cancel­
lation. However, when the said certified statement 
has been issued by a French institution, it shall be 
valid only for six months following the date of its 
issue, and must be renewed every six months. 
3. If the worker is a seasonal worker, the certified 
statement referred to in paragraph 1 shall be valid 
for the whole of the expected duration of the sea­
sonal work unless, in the meanwhile, the competent 
institution notifies the institution of the place of 
residence of its cancellation. 
4. Upon each application for benefits in kind, the 
worker shall submit the supporting documents 
required for the granting of benefits in kind under 
the legislation of the Member State in whose terri­
tory he resides. 
5. In the event of hospitalization the institution of 
the place of residence shall, within three days of 
becoming aware of the fact, notify the competent 
institution of the date of entry into hospital, the 
probable duration of hospitalization and the date of 
leaving hospital. 
6. The institution of the place of residence shall 
notify the competent institution in advance of any 
decision relating to the granting of benefits in kind 
where the likely or actual cost exceeds a lump sum 
which is fixed and periodically reviewed by the 
Administrative Commission. The competent institu­
tion shall have 15 days from the day on which such 
information is sent within which to raise any objec­
tion and to state the reasons on which such objec­
tion is based; if, at the end of that period, no such 
objection has been raised, the institution of the 
place of residence shall grant the benefits in kind. 
Where such benefits in kind have to be granted in a 
case of extreme urgency, the institution of the place 
of residence shall forthwith inform the competent 
institution thereof. 7. The worker shall inform the institution of the 
place of residence of any change in his situation 
which is likely to alter his entitlement to benefits in 
kind, in particular any cessation or change of 
employment or any transfer of residence or stay. 
Likewise, should the worker cease to be insured or 
cease to be entitled to benefits in kind the compe­
tent institution shall inform the institution of the 
place of residence accordingly. The institution of 
the place of residence may, at any time, request the 
competent institution to supply it with any informa­
tion relating to the worker's insurance or to his 
entitlement to benefits in kind. 
8. In the case of frontier workers, medicinal prod­
ucts, bandages, spectacles and small appliances may 
be issued, and laboratory analyses and tests carried 
out, only in the territory of the Member State in 
which they were prescribed in accordance with the 
provisions of the legislation of that Member State. 
9. Two or more Member States or the competent 
authorities of those Member States may, having 
received the opinion of the Administrative Commis­
sion, agree on other implementing provisions.

a Member State other than the competent State 
1. In order to receive cash benefits other than pen­
sions under Article 52 (b) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1408/71, a worker shall, within three days of 
commencement of the incapacity for work, apply to 
the institution of the place of residence by submit­
ting a notification of having ceased work or, if the 
legislation administered by the competent institu­
tion or by the institution of the place of residence so 
provides, a certificate of incapacity for work issued 
by the doctor providing treatment for the worker 
concerned. 
2. If the doctors providing treatment in the country 
of residence do not issue certificates of incapacity 
for work, the worker shall apply directly to the insti­
tution of the place of residence within the time limit 
fixed by the legislation which it administers. 
That institution shall immediately have the incapac­
ity for work medically confirmed and the certificate 
referred to in paragraph 1 drawn up. Such certificate 
shall state the probable duration of the incapacity 
and shall be forwarded to the competent institution 
forthwith. 
3. In cases where paragraph 2 does not apply, the 
institution of the place of residence shall, as soon as 
No C 110/18 Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 4. 83 
possible and in any event within the three days fol­
lowing the date on which the worker applied to it, 
have the worker medically examined as if he were 
insured with that institution. The report of the 
examining doctor shall indicate, in particular, the 
probable duration of the incapacity for work, and 
shall be forwarded to the competent institution by 
the institution of the place of residence within the 
three days following the date of the examination. 
4. The institution of the place of residence shall 
subsequently carry out any necessary administrative 
checks or medical examinations of the worker as if 
he were insured with that institution. As soon as it 
establishes that the worker is fit to resume work it 
shall forthwith notify the worker and the competent 
institution thereof, stating the date on which the 
worker's incapacity ceased. Without prejudice to the 
provisions of paragraph 6, the notification to the 
worker shall be treated as a decision taken on behalf 
of the competent institution. 
5. In all cases, the competent institution shall 
reserve the right to have the worker examined by a 
doctor of its own choice. 
6. If the competent institution decides to withhold 
the cash benefits because the worker has not com­
pleted the formalities laid down by the legislation of 
the country of residence, or if it establishes that the 
worker is fit to resume work, it shall notify the 
worker of its decision and shall simultaneously send 
a copy of such decision to the institution of the 
place of residence. 
7. When the worker resumes work, he shall notify 
the competent institution accordingly if such notifi­
cation is required by the legislation administered by 
that institution. 
8. The competent institution shall pay cash ben­
efits by the appropriate method, in particular by 
international money order, and shall inform the 
institution of the place of residence and the worker 
accordingly. Where cash benefits are paid by the 
institution of the place of residence on behalf of the 
competent institution, the latter shall inform the 
worker of his rights and shall notify the institution 
of the place of residence of the amount of the cash 
benefits, the dates for payment and the maximum 
period during which they should be granted, in 
accordance with the legislation of the competent 
State.

employed in international transport covered by 
Article 14 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 
who, in the course of his employment, goes to the 
territory of a Member State other than the compe­
tent State, shall, as soon as possible, submit to the 
institution of the place of stay a special certified 
statement issued by the employer or by his agent 
during the current calendar month or during the two 
calendar months preceding its submission. Such cer­
tified statement shall state in particular the date 
from which the worker has been employed by the 
said employer and the name and address of the 
competent institution. A worker who has submitted 
such certified statement shall be presumed to have 
satisfied the conditions for acquisition of the right 
to benefits in kind. If a worker is unable to contact 
the institution of the place of stay before receiving 
medical treatment, he shall nevertheless receive such 
treatment on presentation of the said certified state­
ment as if he were insured with that institution. 
2. The institution of the place of stay shall, within 
three days, inquire of the competent institution 
whether a worker covered by paragraph 1 satisfies 
the conditions for acquisition of the right to benefits 
in kind. The institution of the place of stay shall 
provide the benefits in kind until it receives a reply 
from the competent institution, but for not more 
than 30 days. 
3. The competent institution shall send its reply to 
the institution of the place of stay within 10 days of 
the receipt of the request from that institution. If 
that reply is in the affirmative, the competent insti­
tution shall indicate, if necessary, the maximum 
period during which the benefits in kind may be 
granted, in accordance with the legislation which it 
administers, and the institution of the place of stay 
shall continue to provide the said benefits.

sumption made in paragraph 1 shall be reimbursed 
as provided for in Article 36(1) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 1408/71.

in paragraph 1, a worker covered by that paragraph 
may submit to the institution of the place of stay a 
certified statement as provided for in paragraph 6.

except in cases where a presumption is made under 
paragraph 1, a worker shall submit to the institution 
of the place of stay a certified statement stating that 
he is entitled to benefits in kind. Such certified 
statement, which shall be issued by the competent 
institution, if possible before the worker leaves the 
territory of the Member State in which he resides, 
shall specify in particular, where necessary, the max­
imum period during which benefits in kind may be 
granted, in accordance with the legislation of the 
competent State. If the worker does not submit the 
said certified statement, the institution of the place 
of stay shall obtain it from the competent institu­
tion.

entitled to continue receiving the said benefits. This 
certified statement, which shall be issued by the 
competent institution, shall specify in particular, 
where necessary, the maximum period during which 
such benefits may continue to be provided, in 
accordance with the provisions of the legislation of 
the competent State. The certified statement may, at 
the worker's request, be issued after his departure if, 
for reasons of force majeure, it cannot be drawn up 
beforehand. 
2. The provisions of Article 46 (5), (6) and (9) of 
the Implementing Regulation shall apply by 
analogy.

in, or an occupational disease contracted in, a Member State 
other than the competent State. 
1. When an accident at work is sustained in, or an 
occupational disease is diagnosed for the first time 
in, the territory of a Member State other than the 
competent State, a declaration of the accident at 
work or occupational disease must be made in 
accordance with the provisions of the legislation of 
the competent State without prejudice to any legal 
provisions in force in the territory of the Member 
State in which the accident at work was sustained or 
in which the occupational disease was first diag­
nosed, and which shall in such a case remain applic­
able. This declaration shall be sent to the compe­
tent institution and a copy shall be sent to the 
institution of the place of residence or to the institu­
tion of the place of stay. 
2. The institution of the Member State in whose 
territory the accident at work was sustained or in 
which the occupational disease was first diagnosed, 
shall forward to the competent institution, in dupli­
cate, the medical certificates drawn up in that terri­
tory and any relevant information which the latter 
institution may request. 
3. If, in the case of an accident sustained while 
travelling in the territory of a Member State other 
than the competent State, there are grounds for 
holding an enquiry in the territory of the first Mem­
ber State, an investigator may be appointed for that 
purpose by the competent institution, which shall so 
inform the authorities of that Member State. Those 
authorities shall assist the said investigator, in parti­
cular by appointing a person to assist him in the 
consultation of official reports and any other docu­
ments relating to the accident. 
4. At the end of the treatment, a detailed report 
shall be forwarded to the competent institution 
together with medical certificates concerning the 
permanent consequences of the accident or disease, 
and in particular the present condition of the victim, 
and the recovery from the injuries or their consoli­
dation. The relevant fees shall be paid by the institu­
tion of the place of residence or the institution of 
the place of stay, as the case may be, in accordance 
NoC 110/20 Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 4. 83 
with the rate applied by that institution, but shall be 
chargeable to the competent institution. 
5. The competent institution shall, on request, 
notify the institution of the place of residence or the 
institution of the place of stay, as the case may be, 
of the decision determining the date of recovery 
from the injuries or their consolidation and, where 
appropriate, the decision relating to the granting of 
a pension. 
Article 52 
Disputes concerning the occupational nature of the accident 
or disease 
1. When, in the cases referred to in Articles 52 or 
55 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, the compe­
tent institution disputes the application of the legis­
lation relating to accidents at work or occupational 
diseases, it shall forthwith notify that fact to the 
institution of the place of residence or institution of 
the place of stay which provided the benefits in 
kind; those benefits shall then be considered as 
coming under sickness insurance and shall continue 
to be provided thereunder upon presentation of the 
certificates or certified statements referred to in 
Articles 19 and 20 of the Implementing Regulation. 
2. When a final decision has been reached on this 
subject, the competent institution shall forthwith 
notify the fact to the institution of the place of resid­
ence or to the institution of the place of stay which 
provided the benefits in kind. Where the case is not 
one of an accident at work or an occupational dis­
ease, that institution shall continue to provide the 
said benefits in kind under sickness insurance if the 
worker is entitled thereto. In other cases, the bene­
fits in kind received by the worker under sickness 
insurance shall be considered as benefits for an 
accident at work or an occupational disease.

1. In the case covered by Article 57 (1) of Regula­
tion (EEC) No 1408/71, notification of the occupa­
tional disease shall be forwarded either to the com­
petent institution in respect of occupational diseases 
of the Member State under whose legislation the 
person suffering from the disease last pursued an 
activity likely to cause the disease in question, or to 
the institution of the place of residence, which shall 
forward the notification to the said competent 
institution. 2. If the competent institution referred to in para­
graph 1 ascertains that an activity which might cause 
the occupational disease in question was last pur­
sued under the legislation of another Member State, 
it shall forward the notification and the accompany­
ing documents to the corresponding institution of 
that Member State. 
3. When the institution of the Member State under 
whose legislation the person suffering from the dis­
ease last pursued an activity which might cause the 
occupational disease in question ascertains that 
such person or his survivors do not satisfy the con­
ditions of that legislation, taking into account the 
provisions of Article 57 (2) (3) (a) and (b) of Regula­
tion (EEC) No 1408/71, the said institution shall: 
(a) forward, without delay, to the institution of the 
Member State under whose legislation the per­
son suffering from the disease previously pur­
sued an activity which might cause the disease 
in question, the notification and all accompany­
ing documents, including the findings and 
reports of the medical examinations arranged by 
the first institution, and a copy of the decision 
referred to under (b); 
(b) simultaneously notify the person concerned of 
its decision, indicating in particular the reasons 
for the refusal of benefits, the grounds and time 
limits for appeal, and the date on which the file 
was forwarded to the institution referred to 
under (a). 
4. Where necessary the case should be referred 
back, in accordance with the same procedure, to the 
corresponding institution of the Member State 
under whose legislation the person suffering from 
the disease first pursued the activity which might 
cause the occupational disease in question.

Member States under whose legislation the person 
suffering from the disease pursued an activity which 
might cause the occupational disease in question, 
that institution shall so inform the institution to 
which the notification has been forwarded in 
accordance with the procedure laid down in 
Article 53 (3) of the Implementing Regulation, and 
shall subsequently notify it of the final decision 
reached.

institution shall pay advances up to an amount to be 
determined, where necessary, after consultation with 
the institution against whose decision the appeal 
was lodged. The latter institution shall reimburse the 
amount of the advances paid if, as a result of the 
appeal, it is required to provide the benefits. That

ance (old-age insurance) or periods of residence 
completed by the person suffering from the dis­
ease under the legislation of each one of the

be taken into consideration when calculating cash benefits, 
including pensions 
1. In order to receive benefits under the provisions 
of Article 58 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, 
the claimant shall submit a certified statement relat­
ing to the members of his family who are residing in 
the territory of a Member State other than that in 
which the institution responsible for the award of 
cash benefits is situated. 
This certified statement shall be issued by the sick­
ness insurance institution of the place of residence 
of the members of the family or by another institu­
tion designated by the competent authority of the 
Member State in whose territory they are resident. 
The provisions of the second and third subpara­
graphs of Article 24 (2) of the Implementing Regula­
tion shall apply by analogy.

the award of cash benefits may require the claimant 
to produce recent civil-status documents relating to 
members of his family who are residing in the terri­
tory of a Member State other than that in which the 
said institution is situated. 
2. In the case referred to in paragraph 1, if the leg­
islation administered by the institution concerned 
requires that the members of the family should live 
under the same roof as the claimant, the fact that the 
said members of the family who do not satisfy that 
condition are nevertheless mainly dependent on the 
claimant must be established by documents proving 
the regular transmission of part of the claiment's 
earnings. 
Implementation of Article 60 of Regulation (EEC) No

NoC 110/22 Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 4. 83 
claiming rights to benefits with all information relat­
ing to benefits previously granted in respect of the 
occupational disease in question. That institution 
may apply to any other institution which has pre­
viously been competent in order to obtain any infor-
matioji which it considers necessary. 
2. In the case covered by Article 60 (1) (c) of Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1408/71, the competent institution 
required to pay the cash benefits shall notify the 
other institution concerned, for its approval, of the 
amount of costs to be borne by the latter institution 
as a result of the aggravation, together with appro­
priate supporting evidence. At the end of each cal­
endar year, the first institution shall send the second 
institution a statement of the cash benefits paid 
during the financial year in question, showing the 
amount due from the latter institution which shall 
make the refund to the first institution as soon as 
possible, and within three months at the latest. 
3. In the case referred to in the first sentence of 
Article 60 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, 
the institution responsible for payment of cash 
benefits shall notify the competent institutions con­
cerned, for their approval, of the changes made in 
the previous apportionment of costs, together with 
the appropriate supporting evidence. 
4. In the case referred to in the second sentence of 
Article 60 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, 
the provisions of paragraph 2 shall apply by 
analogy.

diagnosed previously 
1. In order to assess the degree of incapacity in the 
case referred to in Article 61 (5) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 1408/71, a worker shall supply the com­
petent institution of the Member State to whose 
legislation he was subject at the time when the acci­
dent at work was sustained or the occupational dis­
ease was first diagnosed with all information on pre­
vious accidents at work sustained or occupational 
diseases contracted by him when he was subject to 
the legislation of any other Member State, whatever 
the degree of incapacity caused by those previous 
cases. 
2. In accordance with the legislation which it 
administers in respect of the acquisition of the right 
to benefit, and the determination of the amount of 
benefit, the competent institution shall take into 
account the degree of incapacity caused by those 
previous cases. 3. The competent institution may apply to any 
other institution which was previously competent in 
order to obtain any information which it considers 
necessary. 
When a previous incapacity for work was caused by 
an accident sustained while the worker was subject 
to the legislation of a Member State which makes no 
distinction as to the origin of the incapacity for 
work, the competent institution in respect of the pre­
vious incapacity for work or the body designated by 
the competent authority of the Member State con­
cerned shall, at the request of the competent institu­
tion of another Member State, supply information 
of the degree of the previous incapacity for work 
and, as far as possible, any information which 
would make it possible to determine whether the 
incapacity was a result of an accident at work within 
the meaning of the legislation administered by the 
institution of the second Member State. Where such 
is the case, the provisions of paragraph 2 shall apply 
by analogy.

lation (EEC) No 1408/71 and where, in the country 
of stay or residence, the benefits provided under the 
insurance scheme for accidents at work and occupa­
tional diseases covering manual workers in the steel 
industry are equivalent to those provided under the 
special scheme for workers in mines and similar 
undertakings, workers belonging to the latter cate­
gory may apply to the nearest institution in the terri­
tory of the Member State in which they are staying 
or residing specified in Annex 3 to the Implement­
ing Regulation, even if the latter is an institution of 
the scheme applicable to manual workers in the 
steel industry, which institution shall then provide 
such benefits. 
2. Where the benefits provided under the special 
scheme for workers in mines and similar undertak­
ings are more advantageous, such workers shall have 
the option of applying either to the institution re­
sponsible for the administration of that scheme, or to 
the nearest institution in the territory of the Member 
State in which they are staying or residing, which 
administers the scheme for manual workers in the 
steel industry. In the latter case the institution in 
question shall draw the attention of the worker to 
the fact that by applying to the institution respon­
sible for the administration of the abovementioned 
special scheme, he will obtain more advantageous 
benefits; it must, furthermore, inform him of the 
name and address of such institution.

petent institution in respect of family benefits of the 
Member State with which he was last insured, or by 
another institution designated by the competent 
authority of the said Member State. If he does not

institution of any other Member State responsible 
for the payment of such benefits in favour of that 
person to deduct the amount of the assistance paid from the amounts which the latter pays to the said 
person in respect of the member of the family con­
cerned.

but were not due to him. The said institutions shall 
notify these debits to the Audit Board which shall 
draw up a statement thereof.

necessitate the reassessment of the benefits which 
have been awarded for the same contingency prior 
to that date by the institution or institutions of one 
or more of the other Member States, in accordance 
with the provisions of the Decision. States either as to which legislation should apply to 
a worker under Title II of the Decision, or as to 
which institution should provide the benefits, the 
person concerned who could claim benefits if there 
were no dispute shall provisionally receive the ben­
efits provided for by the legislation administered by 
the institution of the place of residence or, if the 
person concerned does not reside in the territory of 
one of the Member States concerned, the benefits 
provided for by the legislation administered by the 
institution to which his claim was submitted in the 
first instance.
