implementing Regulation No1408 /71areatpresent applicable only
toemployed persons . -
2.InitsProposal of31December 1977^/theCommission proposed as
afirst step that Regulation No1408 /71beadapted with aview to
itsapplication toself-employed persons andmembers oftheir
'.families .Following theOpinions delivered bytheEuropean Parliament ,
and theEconomic and Social Committee ,theCommission amended its

3.On12May 1981 ,theCouncil adopted aRegulation extending Council
Regulation No1408 /71toself-employed persons .TheCouncil wasunable
toadopt theCommission 'sproposals /•/ 'relating tothecoverage

persons themajority ofprovisions ,applicable toemployed persons ^

5.Theprovisions ofRegulation No1408 /71relating tothepayment of
family benefits forfamily members residing inaMember State other
than the country ofemployment are notapplicable toself-employed
persons .Profound differences ofopinion between theMember States
concerning thestandardization ofthesystem foremployed persons
prevented theCouncil from applying theprovisions atpresent in
force toself-employed persons andfrom laying down special
arrangements .
6.Inspite ofthis shortcoming ,,theextension ofRegulation No1408 /71
toself-employed persons constitutes anextremely important step
towards the social protection ofall persons who ,,forprofessional
orother reasons ,move within theCommunity ,,Only certain categories
ofnon-employed persons whoare notfamily members ofanemployed or
self-employed person and who cannot give evidence ofoccupational
activities are still excluded from theCommunity rules and regulations .
TheMember States have stated that they will -take thenecessary measures
atnational level toensure that such persons arecovered bysickness
insurance inthe:case of..atemporary stay inanother Member State .
