of 11 June 1998

on the amending of forms E 121 and E 127 and the discontinuance of form E 122

(Text with EEA relevance)

(98/443/EC)

THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL
SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS,

Having regard to Article 81(a) of Council Regulation No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the
application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and
to members of their family moving within the Community, under which it is the duty of
the Administrative Commission to deal with all administrative matters arising from Regu-
lation (EEC) No 1408/71 and subsequent Regulations,

Having regard to Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 of 21 March 1972,
under which it is the duty of the Administrative Commission to draw up models of certi-
ficates, certified statements, declarations, applications and other documents necessary for
the application of the Regulations,

Having regard to Decision No 153 of 7 October 1993 on the model forms necessary for
the application of Council Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72 (E 001,
E 103 to E 127),

Having regard to Decision No 170 of 11 June 1998 amending Decision No 141 of 17
October 1989 amending Decision No 127 of 17 October 1985 concerning the compila-
tion of the lists provided for in Article 94(4) and Article 95(4) of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 574/72 of 21 March 1972,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3095/95 of 22 December 1995 amended Regulation
(EEC) No 574/72, firstly Article 17(2) and Article 30(1), by limiting to one year the period
of validity of form E 122 issued by German, Italian or Portuguese institutions, and
secondly Article 95, by replacing the average cost per family by the average cost per
person;

Whereas this amendment to Article 95 of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 will not, however,
take effect until 1 January 2002 in the French Republic;

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1223/98 of 4 June 1998 amended Articles 29 and
31 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and Articles 29, 30, 31, 93 and 95 of Regulation
(EEC) No 574/72;

Whereas forms E 121 and E 127 must therefore be adapted and form E 122 discontinued;

Whereas the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992, as amended by
the Protocol of 17 March 1993, Annex VI, implements Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71
and (EEC) No 574/72 within the European Economic Area;

Whereas by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee the model forms necessary for the
application of Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72 will be adapted and
implemented within the European Economic Area;

Whereas for practical reasons identical forms should be used within the Community and
within the European Economic Area;

Whereas the language in which forms should be issued is the subject of Recommendation
No 15 of the Administrative Commission,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The model forms E 121 and E 127 reproduced in Decision No 153 of 7 October 1993
shall be replaced by the models appended hereto, and the model form E 122 repro-
duced in the same Decision shall be discontinued.

2. Separate forms E 121 and E 127 shall be filled in for each recipient of a pension or
allowance, and for each member of the family of a recipient of a pension or allowance.

3. The competent authorities of the Member States shall make the appended forms avai-
lable to the persons concerned (rightful claimants,
institutions, employers, etc.).
However, E 121 forms valid on the date this Decision enters into force shall remain
validd until they are invalidated and/or replaced by the new model form E 121 conve-
ring only the recipient of a pension or allowance and thus not the members of their
families.

4. Each form shall be available in the official languages of the Commuity and laid out in
such manner that the different versions are perfectly superposable, thereby making it
possible for all persons or bodies to whom a form is addressed (rightful claimants, insti-
tutions, employers, etc.) to receive the form printed in their own language.

5. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Com-
munities and shall be applicable as from 1 January 1998. In France, however, it shall
not take effect until 1 January 2002.
