ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS DECISION No 156 of 7 April 1995 concerning the  rules of priority with regard to sickness and maternity insurance (95/419/EC)THE  ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS, Having regard to Article 81 (a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the  application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed person and to members  of their families moving within the Community, under which it is made responsible for dealing with  all administrative questions arising from the provisions of that Regulation, Having regard to Article 34 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 under which the provisions of the  said Regulation concerning the grant of sickness and maternity insurance benefits in kind to  pensioners and to members of their families (Articles 27 to 33) 'shall not apply to a pensioner or  to members of his family who are entitled to benefits under the legislation of a Member State as a  result of pursuing a professional or trade activity. In such a case, the person concerned shall,  for the purposes of the implementation of this chapter, be considered as an employed or  self-employed person or as a member of an employed or self-employed person's family`; Whereas it is necessary to delimit accurately the scope of this Article and to extend its field of  application so as to avert divergencies of interpretation between the social security institutions  of the Member States; Whereas rules of priority should be laid down for the application of the chapter on sickness and  maternity of the Regulation where an unemployed person resumes a part-time professional or trade  activity in the territory of a Member State other than that under whose legislation he continues to  receive unemployment benefits; Whereas it is necessary to lay down rules of priority for the application of the chapter on  sickness and maternity where a pensioner who pursues a professional or trade activity in another  Member State becomes unemployed; Whereas, however, these rules of priority must not affect the precedence of the rule of pirority of  personal rights over derived rights, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 1.  Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 shall not be applicable to a wholly  unemployed person who resumes a part-time professional or trade activity or to members of his  family who are entitled to benefits under the legislation of a Member State because of the pursuit  of such professional or trade activity. In this case the person concerned shall, for the purposes  of the chapter on sickness and maternity of the said Regulation, be considered an employed or  self-employed person and the members of his family as members of an employed or self-employed  person's family. 2.  Articles 27 to 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 shall not be applicable to pensioners or  members of their families who are entitled to benefits under the legislation of a Member State by  vitue of the receipt of unemployment benefit. In this case, the person concerned shall, for the  purposes of the chapter on sickness and maternity of the said Regulation, be considered an employed  or self-employed person who has become unemployed and the members of his family as members of the  family of an employed or self-employed person who has become unemployed. 3.  The application of Article 34 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and of the abovementioned  provisions cannot reverse, for the person concerned, the order of priority of rights personally he  has acquired by pursuing a professional or trade activity, by being wholly unemployed or by  receiving a pension over derived rights he has acquired through another person of whom he is a  member of the family or a survivor. 4.  This Decision shall be applicable from the first day of the month following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities.
