From 1 September 1972 to 1 April 1975 and from 1 January 1976 to 31 December 1977, that is to say, for four years and seven months, he was resident and worked in the Netherlands.
Od 1. septembra 1972 do 1. aprila 1975 in od 1. januarja 1976 do 31. decembra 1977, to je �tiri leta in sedem mesecev, je stalno prebival in delal na Nizozemskem.
In the nine months between these two periods the applicant worked in Denmark, where he paid social security contributions.
V devetih mesecih med tema obdobjema je delal na Danskem, kjer je plačeval prispevke za socialno varnost.
Since 1 January 1978 he has been resident in the United States.
Od 1. januarja 1978 stalno prebiva v Združenih državah.
The Algemene Ouderdomswet (General Law on old-age pensions — ‘AOW’) provides that those deemed under that law to have been insured receive a pension from the age of 65.
The Algemene Ouderdomswet (Splo�ni zakon o starostnih pokojninah, v nadaljevanju: AOW) določa, da tisti, za katerega se �teje, da je zavarovan po tem zakonu, prejema pokojnino od 65. leta starosti.
Insured persons are those who are not yet 65 years of age and resident in the Netherlands or not resident in the Netherlands, but liable to tax on wages and salaries for paid employment undertaken in the Netherlands.
Zavarovane osebe so tiste, ki �e niso dopolnile 65 let in prebivajo na Nizozemskem ali pa ne prebivajo na Nizozemskem in so zavezane za plačilo dohodnine za plačano zaposlitev na Nizozemskem.
The old-age pension is reduced by 2% for each full calendar year during which the person entitled to a pension was not insured after reaching the age of 15 years and before reaching the age of 65 years.
Starostna pokojnina se zmanj�a za 2 % za vsako polno koledarsko leto, v katerem oseba, upravičena do pokojnine, ni bila zavarovana po dopolnjenem 15 letu in pred 65 letom starosti.
On reaching pensionable age, the applicant submitted an application for an old-age pension to the Raad van bestuur van de Sociale Verzekeringsbank (Management Board of the Social Insurance Bank or ‘SVB’).
Tožeča stranka je ob dopolnitvi upokojitvene starosti vložila zahtevek za starostno pokojnino pri Raad van bestuur van de Sociale Verzekeringsbank (upravni odbor banke za socialno zavarovanje, v nadaljevanju: SVB).

The applicant was also informed that, since his spouse was less than 65 years of age, he was entitled to an allowance of 26% of the full allowance with effect from December 2002.
Tožeča stranka je bila tudi obve�čena, da je od decembra 2002 upravičena do nadomestila v vi�ini 26 % celotnega nadomestila, ker je njena zakonska partnerica mlaj�a od 65 let.
The Court has received observations from the SVB, the Commission, and the Greek, Italian and Netherlands Governments.
Sodi�če je prejelo stali�ča SVB, Komisije ter gr�ke, italijanske in nizozemske vlade.
An oral hearing 27 September 2007.
Ustna obravnava je bila 27. septembra 2007.
He claimed in substance that the period of time during which he contributed to the Danish social security system should have been taken into account by the SVB for the calculation of his pension and that the SVB had wrongfully omitted to apply Article 48(2) of the Regulation, because the fact that he was not resident on the territory of the Community did not preclude the application of that provision.
V bistvenem je trdil, da bi obdobje, ko je vplačeval prispevke v danski sistem socialne varnosti, SVB moral upo�tevati pri izračunu njegove pokojnine in da je SVB nepravilno izpustil uporabo člena 48(2) Uredbe, ker naj dejstvo, da ne prebiva stalno na ozemlju Skupnosti, ne bi preprečevalo uporabe te določbe.
On 27 July 2006 the Rechtbank Amsterdam decided to stay the proceedings and to make a reference to the Court of Justice of the European Communities for a preliminary ruling on the following question:
Rechtbank Amsterdam je 27. julija 2006 prekinilo odločanje in Sodi�ču Evropskih skupnosti v predhodno odločanje predložilo to vpra�anje:
The Commission proposes that the answer should be that when a worker resides outside the Community at the time when he reaches the age of retirement, Article 48 of the Regulation must be applied in the same way as if the worker resided on the territory of the Community.
Komisija predlaga, da je na vpra�anje treba odgovoriti tako, da kadar delavec v trenutku dopolnitve upokojitvene starosti stalno prebiva zunaj Skupnosti, je treba člen 48 Uredbe uporabiti enako kot v primeru, če bi zadevni delavec stalno prebival na območju Skupnosti.
For the purpose of the application of that article it is not decisive whether the person retiring has his residence on the territory of the Community or outside.
Za namene uporabe tega člena ni odločujoče, ali ima oseba, ki se upokojuje, stalno prebivali�če na območju Skupnosti ali zunaj njega.
While migrant workers who were affiliated to various national systems retain separate claims
Medtem ko delavci migranti, ki so spadali pod različne nacionalne sisteme, ohranijo ločene zahtevke do različnih nosilcev nacionalnih sistemov
‘Where a worker is resident outside the Community on the date on which he reaches pensionable age, should Article 48 of the Regulation be applied in the same way as in a case where the worker concerned is resident in the territory of the Community?’
„Ali je treba v primeru, če delavec v trenutku dopolnitve upokojitvene starosti stalno prebiva zunaj Skupnosti, uporabiti člen 48 Uredbe enako kot v primeru, če bi zadevni delavec stalno prebival na območju Skupnosti?“
against different national social security institutions, the Community rules on social security of migrant workers ensure that rights are recognised and protected as soon as they are acquired by those who are to be regarded as migrant workers within the meaning of that legislation.
CHUCK socialne varnosti, pa pravila Skupnosti glede socialne varnosti delavcev migrantov zagotavljajo, da so pravice priznane in varovane takoj, ko jih pridobijo tisti, ki se �tejejo za delavce migrante v skladu s to ureditvijo.
The Greek and Italian Governments essentially agree with the Commission.
Gr�ka in italijanska vlada se v bistvenem strinjata s Komisijo.
The Greek Government also points out that Article 36(3) of Regulation No 574/72 provides that when a claimant resides in the territory of a nonmember country, he is to submit his claim to the competent institution of the Member State to whose legislation the worker was last subject.
Gr�ka vlada tudi poudarja, da člen 36(3) Uredbe �t. 574/72 določa, da kadar ima vlagatelj zahtevka stalno prebivali�če na ozemlju države nečlanice, svoj zahtevek predloži pristojnemu nosilcu tiste države članice, katere zakonodaja je zanj veljala nazadnje.
Furthermore, the caselaw of the Court shows that what matters for the application of these rules is the relationship between a worker and a given social security system of a Member State under which he has been insured for a given period, rather than, for example, the place where a professional activity is carried out.
Dalje, sodna praksa Sodi�ča kaže, da je za uporabo teh pravil bolj pomembna povezava med delavcem in zadevnim socialnim sistemom države članice, kjer je bil zavarovan v določenem obdobju, kot pa na primer kraj, kjer se opravlja poklicna dejavnost.
In the Commission’s view the essential criterion for the application of Regulation No 1408/71 is therefore the relationship between the worker and the social security system of a Member State.
Po mnenju Komisije je torej bistveno merilo za uporabo Uredbe �t. 1408/71 povezava med delavcem in sistemom socialne varnosti države članice.
If the SVB’s reasoning were to be followed, that would deprive the principle of aggregation provided for by Regulation No 1408/71 of much of its effectiveness.
Če bi sledili utemeljitvam SVB, bi s tem načelu se�tevanja, ki ga določa Uredba �t. 1408/71, odvzeli precej njegove učinkovitosti.
The Italian Government submits that Article 10(1) of Regulation No 1408/71, which aims at maintaining the benefits in case of a move from one Member State to another, does not in itself imply that the right to benefits will be retained only where the person concerned moves from one Member State to another and does not exclude the acquisition of a right to benefits when the claimant no longer resides in a Member State at the moment when he retires.
Italijanska vlada navaja, da člen 10(1) Uredbe �t. 1408/71, katerega cilj je ohraniti dajatve v primeru selitve iz ene države članice v drugo, sam po sebi ne pomeni, da bi bila pravica do dajatev ohranjena le tedaj, kadar se zadevna oseba preseli iz ene države članice v drugo, in ne izključuje pridobitve pravice do dajatev, kadar vlagatelj zahtevka ob upokojitvi ne prebiva več v državi članici.
Furthermore, it points out that Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, 5which repeals Regulation No 1408/71 from
Dalje poudarja, da člen 2(1) Uredbe (ES) �t. 883/2004 5, ki z datumom začetka veljave
5 — Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems (OJ 2004 L 166, p. 1).

None the less, it is clear that no provision of the Regulation imposes the exportability of social benefits to nonmember countries.
Kljub temu je jasno, da nobena določba Uredbe ne nalaga, da se socialne dajatve izvažajo v države nečlanice. To vpra�anje �e vedno ureja nacionalno pravo.
OPINION OF MR MAZÁK — CASE C-331/06 the wording of Article 42 EC, which states that the Council is to make arrangements to secure payment of benefits to persons resident in the territories of Member States.
1408/71 6, določa, da se „ta uredba uporablja za drža- podpira tudi besedilo člena 42 ES, ki pravi, da Svet sprejme ukrepe, ki osebam s prebivali�čem na ozemlju držav članic zagotavljajo izplačevanje dajatev.

vljane države članice, osebe brez državljanstva in begunce, ki stalno prebivajo v državi članici, za katere velja ali je veljala zakonodaja ene ali več držav članic“.
Lastly the Netherlands Government emphasises that if the old-age benefit must be calculated in accordance with Article 48(2) of Regulation No 1408/71 this does not mean that it is exportable to a nonmember country and be paid there.
Nazadnje nizozemska vlada poudarja, da čeprav je treba dajatve za starost izračunati v skladu s členom 48(2) Uredbe �t. 1408/71, pa to ne pomeni, da jih je mogoče izvoziti v državo nečlanico in izplačati tam.
This question is not regulated by Regulation No 1408/71 and is exclusively subject to national legislation.
Tega vpra�anja Uredba �t. 1408/71 ne ureja in je izključno predmet nacionalne zakonodaje.
The Netherlands Government submits, by way of argument in favour of a positive answer to the question referred, that, in order to encourage freedom of movement for workers, Article 42 EC provides for a system which guarantees workers’ social security rights by virtue of, first, a system of aggregation of all insurance periods beyond the national territory of each Member State which applies to the acquisition and the retention of rights to benefits and, second, the obligation to pay benefits throughout the Community.
Nizozemska vlada v podporo trditev v prid pritrdilnemu odgovoru na predloženo vpra�anje navaja, da zaradi spodbujanja prostega gibanja delavcev člen 42 ES določa sistem, ki zagotavlja delavčeve pravice socialne varnosti na podlagi, prvič, sistema se�tevanja vseh zavarovalnih dob zunaj nacionalnega ozemlja vsake države članice, kar se nana�a na pridobitev in obdržanje pravice do dajatev in drugič, obveznost plačila dajatev v vsej Skupnosti. Poleg tega člen 36(3) Uredbe �t.
Furthermore Article 36(3) of Regulation No 574/72 provides for a procedure which allows residents of nonmember countries to request old-age and invalidity pensions.
574/72 predpisuje postopek, ki omogoča osebam, ki stalno prebivajo na ozemlju držav nečlanic, vlaganje zahtevkov za starostno in invalidsko pokojnino.
SVB, the defendant in the action before the referring national court, takes the view that the Court should give a negative answer to the preliminary question.
SVB, tožena stranka v postopku pred nacionalnim predložitvenim sodi�čem, meni, da bi Sodi�če moralo nikalno odgovoriti na vpra�anje za predhodno odločanje.
However, by way of argument in favour of a negative answer, the Netherlands Government submits that Regulation No 1408/71 is designed to facilitate freedom of movement for workers and their families within the Community.
Toda v prid nikalnemu odgovoru Nizozemska vlada navaja, da je namen Uredbe �t. 1408/71 olaj�ati prosto gibanje delavcev in njihovih družin znotraj Skupnosti. To stali�če
6 — According to Article 91 of Regulation No 883/2004, that regulation is not to apply until the date of entry into force of the new implementing regulation, which has not yet been adopted (for the Commission Proposal on the matter, see COM/2006/0016 final).
6 – V skladu s členom 91 Uredbe �t. 883/2004 se ta uporablja od datuma začetka veljavnosti nove izvedbene uredbe, ki pa �e ni bila sprejeta (glede Predloga Komisije v tej zadevi glej COM/2006/0016 konč.)
It submits first that the Regulation guarantees rights and advantages only to workers moving within the Community.
Navaja, prvič, da Uredba zagotavlja le pravice in ugodnosti delavcev, ki se gibljejo znotraj Skupnosti.
It cannot be inferred from the Court’s caselaw that, as a general rule, persons falling under the personal scope of the Regulation can automatically derive rights from it.
Iz sodne prakse Sodi�ča ni mogoče sklepati na splo�no pravilo, da osebe, ki spadajo pod osebno veljavnost Uredbe, avtomatsko iz nje dobijo pravice.
CHUCK parties is whether, pursuant to Article 48(2) of the Regulation, the SVB ought to have taken account of the applicant’s insurance period of nine months in Denmark when calculating his pension payable by the SVB.
CHUCK bi moral pri uporabi člena 48(2) Uredbe SVB upo�tevati zavarovalno dobo devetih mesecev tožeče stranke na Danskem pri izračunavanju njene pokojnine, ki jo plača SVB.
Furthermore the SVB would be required to apply Article 48 of the Regulation in the case of a pension claimant who resides outside of the Community only if the benefits to be aggregated were exportable on the basis of Article 10 of the Regulation.
Dalje bi moral SVB uporabiti člen 48 Uredbe v primeru vlagatelja zahtevka za pokojnino, ki stalno prebiva zunaj Skupnosti le, če bi bilo mogoče dajatve, ki se se�tevajo, izvoziti na podlagi člena 10 Uredbe. Kaže, da člen 10 zagotavlja le izvoz pokojnine v drugo državo članico.
The principle of Article 48(2) of the Regulation is not, as such, disputed in the present case.
Načelo člena 48(2) Uredbe kot tako ni sporno v obravnavani zadevi.
Article 48 of the Regulation deals with the specific issue of periods of insurance of less than one year under the national legislation of a given Member State.
Člen 48 Uredbe obravnava posebno vpra�anje zavarovalnih dob, ki so kraj�e od enega leta po nacionalni zakonodaji zadevne države članice.
Article 48(1) provides that, given the shortness of the insurance period, the institution administering that legislation is relieved from its obligation to grant benefits.
Člen 48(1) določa, da je zaradi kratkosti zavarovalne dobe nosilec, ki uporablja to zakonodajo, opro�čen obveznosti izplačevanja dajatev.
Article 48(2) of the Regulation ensures that such periods are nevertheless taken into account by the national authority of the Member State competent for the calculation of the pension rights. 8
Člen 48(2) Uredbe zagotavlja, da taka obdobja kljub temu upo�teva nacionalni organ države članice, ki je pristojen za izračunavanje pokojninskih pravic. 8
Thus, since Community law does not provide for the Danish benefits to be exported, it is a fortiori not possible to derive from Community law the right to export the aggregation of these benefits on the basis of Article 48(2) of the Regulation.
Ker torej pravo Skupnosti ne določa izvažanja danskih dajatev, je a fortiori nemogoče, da bi iz prava Skupnosti izpeljali pravico do izvoza se�tevka teh dajatev na podlagi člena 48(2) Uredbe.
This conclusion is confirmed by Article 7 of Regulation No 883/2004. 7
Ta sklep potrjuje člen 7 Uredbe �t. 883/2004. 7
The point at issue is whether that article must be applied in the case of a worker who
Gre za vpra�anje, ali je ta člen treba uporabiti v primeru delavca, ki ne prebiva v

8 – V tem smislu glej sodbo z dne 18. februarja 1982 v zadevi Vermaut (55/81, Recueil, str. 649).
In essence, such periods are aggregated to periods of insurance completed under other social security systems of one or more other Member States and which give rise to autonomous pension claims under these national legislations.
V bistvu se te dobe pri�tejejo k zavarovalnim dobam, dopolnjenim po drugih sistemih socialne varnosti ene ali več držav članic in ki so podlaga za samostojne pokojninske zahtevke pod temi nacionalnimi zakonodajami.
7 — This provision repeats, in essence, Article 10(1) of Regulation No 1408/71.

Community law from having effects outside the territory of the Union. 9
Skupnosti v trenutku, ko vloži pokojninski zahtevek.
It is therefore necessary to look at the general scheme and the purpose of Article 48(2) of the Regulation in order to determine whether the claimant’s place of residence at the time of submitting the pension request should matter for the application of the principle of aggregation of short periods of insurance as provided in Article 48(2) of the Regulation.
Zato je treba preučiti splo�ni sistem in namen člena 48(2) Uredbe, da bi ugotovili, ali je stalno prebivali�če tožeče stranke v trenutku vložitve pokojninskega zahtevka pomembno za uporabo načela se�tevanja kratkih zavarovalnih dob, kot je določeno v členu 48(2) Uredbe.
Article 2 of Regulation No 1408/71 establishes two cumulative criteria which must be met in order for the Regulation to apply to the situation of an individual: nationality of a Member State of the Community (or the status of stateless person or refugee residing within the territory of one of the Member States) and affiliation to the social security system of a Member State.
Člen 2 Uredbe �t. 1408/71 določa dve kumulativni merili, ki morata biti izpolnjeni, da se Uredba uporabi za primer posameznika: državljanstvo države članice Skupnosti (ali status osebe brez državljanstva ali begunca, ki stalno prebiva na ozemlju ene od držav članic) in vplačevanje v sistem socialne varnosti države članice.
Regulation No 1408/71 does however not lay down specific rules regarding its territorial scope or the legal situation of pension rights acquired by workers who subsequently moved to a nonmember country.
Vendar pa Uredba �t. 1408/71 ne določa posebnih pravil o krajevni veljavnosti ali o pravnem stanju pokojninskih pravic, ki jih imajo delavci, ki so se naknadno preselili v državo nečlanico.
It may first be pointed to the fact that the Implementing Regulation of Regulation No 1408/71 contains a rule determining the competent social security authority for pension claims made by residents of nonmember countries.
Najprej je treba poudariti, da Izvedbena uredba Uredbe �t. 1408/71 vsebuje pravilo o določitvi pristojnega organa socialne varnosti za pokojninske zahtevke oseb, ki prebivajo v državah nečlanicah. To kaže na to, da je mi�ljeno, da se Uredba �t.
As regards Article 48(2) of Regulation No 1408/71, the Court has consistently held that regulations adopted for the implementa-
V zvezi s členom 48(2) Uredbe �t. 1408/71 je ustaljena praksa Sodi�ča, da je cilj uredb, sprejetih zaradi izvedbe člena 42
9 — See, for example, Case C-214/94 Boukhalfa [1996] ECR I-2253, paragraph 14.
9 – Glej na primer sodbo z dne 30. aprila 1994 v zadevi Boukhalfa (C-214/94, Recueil, str.
It is true that Article 10 of Regulation No 1408/71 expressly prohibits so-called residence clauses only in so far as the Member States of the Community are concerned.
Res je, da člen 10 Uredbe �t. 1408/71 izrecno prepoveduje tako imenovane pogoje stalnega prebivali�ča le takrat, ko gre za države članice Skupnosti.
This in itself, however, does not allow the conclusion that workers cease to benefit from rights provided for in the Regulation when they move to a nonmember country.
Vendar pa to samo po sebi ne pomeni, da delavci nimajo več pravic iz Uredbe, ko se preselijo v državo nečlanico.
