The first paragraph shall also apply to former Members of the Commission or of the Court who benefit either under the pension scheme provided for in Article 8 or under the transitional allowance provided for in Article 7 or under the disability pension  scheme provided for in Article 10.  However, the social security scheme provided for in the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities shall not apply to risks already covered by another social security scheme under which the former Member of the Commission or of the Court  may be eligible for benefits of the same nature and of the same level.  Nevertheless, a former Member of the Commission or of the Court who has held office at least until the age of 60 or is entitled to benefit under the disability pension scheme provided for in Article 10 shall continue to be entitled without restriction  to sickness benefits under the scheme provided for in the Staff Regulations. If he is not in receipt of the transitional allowance provided for in Article 7 and is not entitled to benefit under either the pension scheme provided for in Article 8 or the  disability pension scheme provided for in Article 10, the former Member of the Commission or the Court shall be obliged to pay half the contributions necessary to cover such risks.
