WHEREBY THE APPLICATION OF RESIDENCE CLAUSES IS SET ASIDE , CANNOT BE APPLIED WITHOUT RESTRICTION TO A GENERAL OLD-AGE INSURANCE SCHEME IN WHICH THE MERE FACT OF RESIDENCE IN THE NETHERLANDS IS SUFFICIENT QUALIFICATION FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES .
22 CONSEQUENTLY , POINT 2 ( A ) PROVIDES THAT , IN THE CASE OF A PERSON WHO , IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBPARAGRAPH ( F ), HAS RESIDED FOR SIX YEARS AFTER HIS 59TH BIRTHDAY IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE , PERIODS BEFORE THE ENTRY INTO FORCE OF THE NETHERLANDS LEGISLATION ARE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ONLY IF A SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITION IS SATISFIED , NAMELY THAT DURING THE PERIODS IN QUESTION THE PERSON CONCERNED RESIDED IN THE NETHERLANDS OR PURSUED AN ACTIVITY AS AN EMPLOYED PERSON IN THAT COUNTRY . SUCH PERIODS PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT LINK WITH THE NETHERLANDS SCHEME . THE PURPOSE OF SUBPARAGRAPH ( A ) IS TO PREVENT THE OBSTACLES WHICH MIGHT ARISE FROM ARTICLE 43 OF THE OLD-AGE LAW FROM IMPEDING THE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT OF THOSE PERSONS WHO , HAVING RESIDED OR WORKED IN THE NETHERLANDS , WISH TO MOVE TO ANOTHER MEMBER STATE .
23 IN CONTRAST , THE PURPOSE OF POINT 2 ( C ) CONCERNING THE CASE OF A MARRIED WOMAN WHOSE HUSBAND IS ENTITLED TO A PENSION UNDER NETHERLANDS LEGISLATION IS , AS THE COMMISSION , THE NETHERLANDS GOVERNMENT AND THE VERZEKERINGSBANK HAVE STATED DURING THE PROCEEDINGS , TO FACILITATE THE FREE MOVEMENT OF WORKERS FROM OTHER MEMBER STATES WHO MOVE TO THE NETHERLANDS WHILST THEIR WIVES REMAIN IN THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN , BY ENABLING THE PERIODS DURING WHICH THE WIVES ARE RESIDENT IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT . SUCH PERIODS MAY BE TREATED AS INSURANCE PERIODS PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE PERIODS OF THE MARRIAGE AND COINCIDE WITH PERIODS OF INSURANCE COMPLETED BY THE HUSBAND OR PERIODS WHICH ARE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN PURSUANCE OF PART 2 ( A ).
24 HOWEVER , POINT 2 OF PART I OF ANNEX VI TO THE REGULATION DOES NOT TAKE SPECIAL ACCOUNT OF A MARRIED WOMAN WHO , AFTER SHE HAS RESIDED OR PURSUED AN ACTIVITY AS AN EMPLOYED PERSON IN THE NETHERLANDS , MOVES WITH HER HUSBAND TO ANOTHER MEMBER STATE . POINT 2 ( C ) MERELY ENABLES PERIODS OF THE MARRIAGE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN SUCH A CASE , AND NOT PERIODS OF RESIDENCE IN THE NETHERLANDS BEFORE THEIR MARRIAGE , WHICH , IN THE CASE OF THE HUSBAND , MAY BE COVERED BY POINT 2 ( A ).
25 THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION , UNDER A GENERAL OLD-AGE INSURANCE SCHEME SUCH AS THAT ESTABLISHED BY THE OLD-AGE LAW , IN WHICH RESIDENCE IS THE SOLE QUALIFICATION FOR INSURANCE , FOR REFUSING TO TAKE SUCH PERIODS OF RESIDENCE INTO ACCOUNT AS INSURANCE PERIODS IN THE CASE OF A MARRIED WOMAN WHEN THEY ARE SO TREATED IN THE CASE OF A MAN AND AN UNMARRIED WOMAN . SUCH DIFFERENCE IN TREATMENT MUST BE REGARDED AS
