(2000/749/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 (1), according to which the
Administrative Commission shall deal with all administrative questions and questions of interpretation
arising from the provisions of Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

The interpretation of Article 111(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 has given rise to
repeated difficulties.

A uniform interpretation in all Member States is required.

Acting in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 80(3) of Regulation (EEC) No
1408/71,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The words ‘recipient of benefits’ in Article 111(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 shall be taken

to mean:

— the person, who under the national

legislation of a Member State has entitlement to benefit
regardless of the fact that the benefit may be calculated or provided on the basis of periods of
insurance and/or residence completed by another person, and, consequently, to whom the actual
payment is directed, but not necessarily collected.

‘Recipient of benefits’ should not be taken to mean a parent, agent, proxyholder or legal guardian, who
collects the benefit on behalf of the recipient.

2. Any deductions made by virtue of Article 111(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 may be from arrears or
on-going payments to a recipient of benefits regardless of the social security branch under which the
benefit is paid on the condition that the deduction fulfils the requirements in both the legislation of the
Member State which seeks to recover the overpayment and in the Member State which is requested to
make the deduction.

3. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be applicable

from the first day of the month following its publication.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE REPRESEN-

MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

In the context of the accession process of the candidate central
and eastern European countries (CEECs) and Cyprus;

Recalling the Resolution of 31 October 1994 on strengthening
Community cooperation on civil protection (1);

Building on the discussion at the 1996 Civil Protection Council;

Taking into account the view expressed at the fourth and fifth
Meetings of Directors General for Civil Protection;

Considering that, in preparation for accession by the candidate
CEECs and Cyprus, steps should be taken as of now to enhance
appropriate links with them in the civil protection sector, so
that, when needed, the civil protection structures of each side
are immediately ready to collaborate;

Emphasising that cooperation on civil protection will not
prejudice positions which the EU may take in the accession
negotiations;

CEECs and Cyprus and for pooling experience should be
supported;

Bearing in mind the similar action already taken by some
Member States bilaterally and in various international fora in
which many candidate countries are to varying extents
involved, action aimed at securing the introduction of best
practices established on the basis of principles developed
through Community cooperation on civil protection;

the

activities

referred to above

to
Whereas
improving inter alia the capacity for management of civil
protection of the candidate CEECs and Cyprus and their level
of preparedness in the event of natural and/or technological
in the prospect of their accession to the European
disaster,
Union;

contribute

With a view to strengthening cooperation in the field of civil
protection between the Community and its Member States and
the candidate CEECs and Cyprus, invite the Commission to:

(cid:151) assess the extent and nature of current cooperation,

(cid:151) improve

the

exchange of

Community
including as regards operational manuals,

candidate CEECs

and the

information between the

Believing accordingly that, when suitable occasions arise, every
opportunity for contacts between the Union and the candidate

(cid:151) make appropriate proposals.
