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

Having regard to Article 81(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the applica-
tion of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their
family moving within the Community (1), under which it is the duty of the Administrative Commission to
deal with all administrative matters arising from Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and subsequent regulations,

Having regard to Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 of 21 March 1972 fixing the proce-
dure for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 (2), under which it is the duty of the Administrative
Commission to draw up models of certificates, certified statements, declarations, applications and other
documents necessary for the application of the Regulations,

Having regard to Decision No 180 of 15 February 2000 on the model forms necessary for the application
of Council Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72 (E 211 — E 212) (3),

Having regard to Decision No 184 of 10 December 2001 on the model forms necessary for the application
of Council Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72 (E 201 to E 207, E 210, E 213 and E

According to Article 48(1) of Regulation (EEC) 574/72 claimants must be informed of the grounds
and time-limits allowed for appeals.

The decisions taken by each of the institutions must specify the grounds and time-limits allowed for
appeal provided for by the legislation concerned and by means of form E 210 be notified to the
investigating institution.

The investigating institution must notify the claimant by means of form E 211 — Summary of Deci-
sions.

The current version of forms E 210 and E 211 does not contain any information concerning the
procedures and time limits to be followed in case of appeal.

It is, therefore, necessary to amend forms E 210 and E 211.

The Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992, supplemented 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.
