      Respondent: E. Fischer-Lintjens
   
      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Must the term ‘payable’, as used in Article 27 et seq. of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, (1) be interpreted as meaning that the decisive factor for the purpose of determining the point in time from which a pension is payable is the date of the decision to make an award, after which the pension is paid, or the commencement date of the pension awarded with retroactive effect?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               If the term ‘payable’ refers to the commencement date of the pension awarded with retroactive effect:
               Can this be reconciled with the fact that the person entitled to receive the pension who comes under Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 cannot, under Netherlands legislation, take out medical care insurance with the same retroactive effect?
