If short insurance periods completed in accordance with the legislation of a given Member State were not to be taken into account in the calculation of the pension at retirement age, this loss could affect a worker’s decision to exercise his right to move freely within the Community because a worker is clearly unable, when he decides to move to another Member State, to predict how long he will work there and whether he will be able to derive pension rights under the applicable national legislation.
Če se kratke zavarovalne dobe, dopolnjene v skladu z zakonodajo zadevne države članice, ne bi upo�tevale pri izračunu pokojnine ob upokojitveni starosti, bi ta izguba lahko vplivala na delavčevo odločitev glede izvajanja njegove pravice, da se prosto giba v Skupnosti, saj delavec, ko se odloči, da se preseli v drugo državo članico, ne more jasno predvideti, kako dolgo bo tam delal in ali mu bo veljavna nacionalna zakonodaja omogočila, da pridobi pokojninske pravice.
Therefore Article 48 of the Regulation ensures that such periods are aggregated to periods of insurance under the legislation of one or more other Member States, so that they can give rise to a pension payment even if, on the basis of national law alone, no autonomous entitlement to an old-age pension could be derived from such short insurance periods.
Zato člen 48 Uredbe zagotavlja, da se take dobe pri�tevajo k zavarovalnim dobam po zakonodaji ene ali več držav članic, tako da se na njihovi podlagi lahko pridobi izplačilo pokojnine tudi, če na podlagi samega nacionalnega prava zaradi tako kratkih dob ne obstaja samostojna upravičenost do starostne pokojnine.
Regulation No 1408/71 seeks to achieve this objective by preventing possible negative effects that the exercise of the freedom of movement for workers could have on the enjoyment, by workers and their families, of social security benefits.
Uredba �t. 1408/71 sku�a doseči ta cilj s preprečevanjem mogočih negativnih učinkov, ki bi jih lahko imelo izvajanje svobode gibanja delavcev na uživanje dajatev iz socialne varnosti za delavce in njihove družine.
With regard to pension rights, the Regulation is designed to consolidate the career of migrant workers as regards contributions to various social security systems and thus to provide workers with legal certainty that they will retain the pension rights deriving from their contributions to pension systems in a similar way to a worker who has not exercised his right to freedom of movement within the Community. 11
V zvezi s pokojninskimi pravicami je Uredba načrtovana tako, da utrdi kariero delavcev migrantov, kar zadeva prispevke v različne sisteme socialne varnosti, in tako zagotavlja delavcem pravno varnost, da bodo ohranili pokojninske pravice, nastale na podlagi njihovih prispevkov v pokojninske sisteme, na podoben način kot delavec, ki ni izkoristil pravice do prostega gibanja v Skupnosti. 11
Article 48 of Regulation No 1408/71 deals more specifically with the aggregation
Člen 48 Uredbe �t. 1408/71 natančneje obravnava se�tevanje zavarovalnih dob, kraj�ih od enega leta, po zakonodaji zadevne
10 — Since its very first decisions in this area, the Court has consistently placed early Community legislation on social security in this broader context.
10 – Od prve odločbe na tem področju je Sodi�če stalno uvr�čalo zgodnjo ureditev Skupnosti glede socialne varnosti v ta �ir�i kontekst.
This link comes, however, from the fact that he previously exercised his right to freedom of movement within the Community, when working, as a British national, in the Netherlands, before moving to Denmark to work there for nine months and then moving back to the Netherlands. These are
Vendar ta povezava nastane zaradi dejstva, da je predhodno izvajal svojo svobodo gibanja v Skupnosti, ko je kot britanski državljan delal na Nizozemskem, preden se je preselil na Dansko, kjer je
This finding is confirmed by the analysis of the principles underlying Regulation No 1408/71.
To ugotovitev potrjuje analiza načel, na katerih temelji Uredba �t. 1408/71.
Rather than adopting measures designed to harmonise Member States’ legislation, Community law provides for the coordination of national social security systems.
Namesto sprejetja ukrepov za uskladitev zakonodaje držav članic pravo Skupnosti usklajuje nacionalne sisteme socialne varnosti.
12A fundamental principle of that coordination is that contributions made to various national pension systems are recognised by other Member States and the rights acquired by such contributions are retained until retirement.
12 Temeljno načelo tega usklajevanja je, da prispevke, vplačane v različne nacionalne pokojninske sisteme, priznavajo druge države članice in da se pravice, pridobljene s takimi prispevki, ohranijo do upokojitve.
While Regulation No 1408/71 does not contain a provision stating expressly this principle of retention of acquired rights, both the principle of aggregation and the principle of waiving residence requirements are in fact means of ensuring its full achievement. 13
Čeprav Uredba �t. 1408/71 izrecno ne določa tega načela ohranitve pridobljenih pravic, pa sta tako načelo se�tevanja kot tudi načelo odpovedi pogoju stalnega prebivali�ča sredstvi za zagotavljanje popolnega doseganja tega načela. 13
A Community national can indeed not predict, when taking the decision whether to go and work for a short period in another Member State, where he will reside when he retires.
Ko se državljan Skupnosti odloča, ali bo �el za kratek čas delat v drugo državo članico, zares ne more predvideti, kje bo stalno prebival, ko se bo upokojil.
Such an outcome would run counter to the objective of Regulation No 1408/71, as it could create a disincentive for workers to exercise their right to freedom of movement within the Community.
Taka odločitev bi bila v nasprotju s ciljem Uredbe �t. 1408/71, ker bi lahko povzročila oviro za delavce pri izvajanju njihove pravice do svobodnega gibanja v Skupnosti.
This principle has been consistently applied by the Court.
To načelo je Sodi�če stalno uporabljalo.
Its application is for instance apparent in Belbouab, 14where,
Njegova uporaba je na primer očitna v zadevi Belbouab 14, kjer je Sodi�če, opirajoč se na
12 — Member States retain the right to determine the types of social benefits and the conditions for granting them, while Community law imposes certain rules and principles so as to ensure that application of the different national rules does not adversely affect persons who exercise their right to freedom of movement within the Community.
12 – Države članice ohranijo pravico do določitve vrste socialnih dajatev in pogojev za njihovo dodelitev, medtem ko pravo Skupnosti določa določena pravila in načela, da zagotovi, da uporaba različnih nacionalnih pravil ne vpliva negativno na osebe, ki izvajajo svojo pravico do svobode gibanja v Skupnosti.

It follows from the foregoing that in the light of the objective it pursues, Article 48
Iz navedenega izhaja, da se ob upo�tevanju cilja, ki mu sledi, člen 48 Uredbe
Kingdom, 17which was not yet a Member State of the Community.
CHUCK bil državljan Združenega kraljestva 17, ki �e ni bilo država članica Skupnosti.
Thus, he did not fulfil at the same time the conditions of being a national of a Member State of the Community and of being affiliated to the social security system of a Member State.
Torej ni hkrati izpolnjeval pogojev, da je državljan države članice Skupnosti in da vplačuje v sistem socialne varnosti države članice.
Regulation No 1408/71 did therefore not apply to his situation.
Uredba �t. 1408/71 se zato v njegovem primeru ni uporabila.
relying on the principle of legal certainty, the Court took the view that the fact that the claimant was, at the time of the pension request, a national of a nonmember country did not prevent Regulation No 1408/71 from applying to the calculation of his pension.
načelo pravne varnosti, zavzelo stali�če, da dejstvo, da je bil vlagatelj zahtevka v času vložitve pokojninskega zahtevka državljan države nečlanice, ni preprečilo uporabe Uredbe �t. 1408/71 pri izračunu njegove pokojnine.
What mattered was the fact that, at the time of employment and insurance, the worker had fulfilled the two criteria set out by Article 2 of Regulation No 1408/71, and in particular, what was of particular relevance for that case, that he was a Community national.
Pomembno je bilo namreč dejstvo, da je v času zaposlitve in zavarovanja delavec izpolnjeval obe merili iz člena 2 Uredbe �t. 1408/71 in zlasti – kar je bilo posebej pomembno za ta primer – da je bil državljan Skupnosti. Sodi�če je menilo, da za izračun njegovih pokojninskih pravic ni pomembno, da je naknadno izgubil svoje državljanstvo in postal državljan države nečlanice.
As long as the claimant had fulfilled at the same time the two conditions for the Regulation to apply, he acquired a right to have his pension rights calculated in accordance with the Regulation 15 and this right could not be affected by a subsequent change of nationality.
Če je vlagatelj zahtevka hkrati izpolnjeval oba pogoja, da se Uredba uporabi, je pridobil pravico, da se njegove pokojninske pravice izračunajo v skladu z Uredbo 15, na to pravico pa naknadna sprememba državljanstva ne more vplivati.
It follows that in order to determine whether an individual may benefit from the provisions of Regulation No 1408/71, especially of rules of calculation such as Article 48(2), it is sufficient that he fulfils the conditions listed in Article 2 of the Regulation.
Iz tega sledi, da za to, da bi ugotovili, ali lahko posameznik koristi določbe Uredbe �t. 1408/71, zlasti pravila za izračun, kakr�na so v členu 48(2), zadostuje, da izpolnjuje pogoje, na�tete v členu 2 Uredbe.
The principle of legal certainty requires that these conditions be examined by direct reference to the periods during which the worker in question carried out his work.
Načelo pravne varnosti zahteva, da se ta pogoja preučita tako, da se neposredno nana�ata na obdobja, v katerih je zadevni delavec opravljal svoje delo.
18 A consistent application of that principle also implies that a subsequent event such as residence at the time of submitting the request for a pension cannot affect the claimant’s right to have his pension calculated in accordance with the rules of calculation contained
18 Enotna uporaba tega načela vključuje tudi, da naknadni dogodek, kot je stalno prebivali�če v času vložitve pokojninskega zahtevka, ne vpliva na pravico vlagatelja zahtevka, da se njegova pokojnina izračuna v skladu s pravili za izračun iz Uredbe
The Court applied this reasoning more recently in Buhari Haji, 16 but to the claim- ant’s disadvantage.

17 — The plaintiff, who was born in Nigeria, was a British national until Nigeria became independent in 1960, 13 years before the United Kingdom’s accession to the EC, and then became Nigerian.
17 – Tožeča stranka, ki je bila rojena v Nigeriji, je bila britanski državljan, dokler ni Nigerija leta 1960 postala neodvisna, to je bilo 13 let preden je Združeno Kraljestvo pristopilo k ES, nato pa je postal nigerijski državljan.
He had lived and worked in the Belgian Congo since 1937, and paid contributions to a Belgian pension system until this territory became independent on 1 July 1960.
Živel in delal je v belgijskem Kongu od leta 1937 in plačeval prispevke v belgijski pokojninski sistem, dokler to ozemlje 1. julija 1969 ni postalo neodvisno.
18 — See, to this effect, Belbouab, cited in footnote 14, paragraph 7.
15 – Glej v opombi 14 navedeno sodbo Belbouab, točka 8.
Given the observations submitted by SVB and the Netherlands Government and in order to provide the referring court with a useful answer to the question referred, it appears necessary to make the following remarks on the latter issue.
Glede na stali�ča, ki sta jih predložila SVB in nizozemska vlada in za to, da se predložitvenemu sodi�ču koristno odgovori na vpra�anje za predhodno odločanje, je nujno pojasniti sledeče.
He thus fulfils the conditions for the application of the rules of Regulation No 1408/71 so far as his contributions to the social security systems of the Member States of the Community are concerned.
Zato izpolnjuje pogoja za uporabo pravil Uredbe �t. 1408/71 v delu, ki se nana�a na njegove prispevke v socialne sisteme držav članic Skupnosti.
It follows that it would in my view be incompatible with the system and the objective of the Regulation to make the calculation of a pension in accordance with Article 48(2) of the Regulation subject to the condition that the applicant resides within the Community at the time where he makes his request.
Iz tega po mojem mnenju sledi, da bi bilo nezdružljivo s sistemom in ciljem Uredbe, če bi izračun pokojnine v skladu s členom 48(2) Uredbe pogojevali s tem, da tožeča stranka v času vložitve zahtevka prebiva v Skupnosti.
This conclusion must however be distinguished from the question whether it is
Vendar pa je ta sklep treba razlikovati od vpra�anja, ali je mogoče dobiti izplačilo
The payment of a pension to a nonmember country therefore remains subject
Plačilo pokojnine v državo nečlanico torej ostaja podvrženo določbam nacionalnega prava države članice, v kateri ima
20 — See, to this effect, Opinion of Advocate General Mischo in Buhari Haji (cited in footnote 16), point 11.
19 – V zvezi s tem je mogoče poudariti, da je od sodbe Belbouab (navedena v opombi 14) naprej postalo jasno, da je pristop, ki mu sledi Uredba �t.
Advocate General Mischo took the view that even if the claimant had been a national of a Member State of the Community, he could not rely on Article 10(1) of Regulation No 1408/71 to compel a national pension authority to pay him his pension into an account with a financial establishment located in Zaire or Nigeria.
1408/71 drugačen od tega, ki ga uporabljajo mednarodne pogodbe o socialni varnosti, kjer morajo biti zahteve, določene za dodelitev socialnih dajatev, izpolnjene v času dogodka, zaradi katerega nastane pravica prejemati te dajatve, za pokojninske pravice to pomeni upokojitvena starost ali datum pokojninskega zahtevka (glej Ph. Gosseries, „Europe sociale – La libre circulation des travailleurs et les règlements CEE Nos 1408/71 et 1612/68: champ d’application matériel et personnel – règle de l’égalité de traitement“, Journal des Tribunaux du travail, 1993, �t. 560, str. 273 in 274).
CHUCK lation of other Member States.
CHUCK nečlanico, enako uporabljati za pravice, nastale iz pokojninskih dob, dopolnjenih po zakonodaji druge države članice.
22Thus the position, which follows from SVB’s submissions, that the benefit of the application of a bilateral treaty would be limited exclusively to pension rights acquired on the basis of Netherlands law cannot be followed.
22Torej ni mogoče slediti stali�ču, ki izhaja iz navedb SVB, da je ugodnost uporabe dvostranske pogodbe omejena izključno na pokojninske pravice, pridobljene na podlagi nizozemskega prava.
to the provisions of the national law of the Member State in which the pension authority required to pay the pension is located.
nosilec, ki izplačuje pokojnine, svoj sedež.
This means, in practice, that the possibility of having the pension paid to a nonmember country and the practical options for such payment will vary depending on the provisions of the national law of the Member State which is competent to pay the pension.
To v praksi pomeni, da se bodo možnost, da se pokojnina izplačuje v državo nečlanico, in praktične možnosti za tako izplačilo razlikovale glede na določbe nacionalnega prava države članice, ki je pristojna za izplačevanje pokojnine.
This national law may be affected by bilateral conventions on social security which Member States have adopted individually with numerous nonmember countries.
Na to nacionalno pravo lahko vplivajo dvostranske konvencije o socialni varnosti, ki so jih države članice individualno sprejele s �tevilnimi državami nečlanicami.
Such conventions usually provide, among other things, for the possibility of having the pension rights paid out directly in the nonmember country in question.
Take konvencije ponavadi med drugim določajo možnost, da se pokojninske pravice izplačujejo neposredno v zadevno državo nečlanico.
It appears from the file that there is a bilateral convention between the Netherlands and the United States which deals with pension rights.
Iz spisa izhaja, da obstaja dvostranska konvencija med Nizozemsko in Združenimi državami, ki ureja pokojninske pravice.
The principle of the mutual recognition of insurance periods and that of non-discriminatory treatment of insurance periods completed under the legislation of other Member States, 21which are both inherent in Regulation No 1408/71, imply that the provisions of such a convention, applicable to pension rights arising from pension periods completed under the laws of the Member State which concluded a bilateral treaty with a nonmember country, must be equally applied to rights arising from pension periods completed under the legis-
Načelo medsebojnega priznavanja zavarovalnih dob in načelo prepovedi diskriminacije zavarovalnih dob, izpolnjenih pod zakonodajo drugih držav članic 21, ki ju vsebuje Uredba �t. 1408/71, pomenita, da je treba določbe take konvencije, ki se uporabljajo za pokojninske pravice, nastale iz pokojninskih dob, dopolnjenih po zakonih države članice, ki je sklenila dvostransko pogodbo z državo
22 — See, to this effect, Case C-55/00 Gottardo [2002] ECR I-413.
22 – Glej v tem smislu sodbo z dne 15. januarja 2002 v zadevi Gottardo (C-55/00, Recueil, str. I-413).
The Court held that when giving effect to commitments under such international agreements, Member States have to comply with the obligations that Community law imposes on them.
Sodi�če je presodilo, da ko države članice izvajajo obveznosti iz takih mednarodnih sporazumov, morajo upo�tevati obveznosti, ki jim jih nalaga pravo Skupnosti.
This implied in that case that the social security authority of that Member State had to grant the national of another Member State the advantages which its own nationals enjoyed under the bilateral social security treaty.
V tem primeru je to pomenilo, da je moral nosilec socialnega zavarovanja te države članice državljanu druge države članice dati ugodnosti, ki jih njeni državljani uživajo na podlagi dvostranske pogodbe o socialnem zavarovanju.
21 — In this respect it is important to bear in mind that while the insurance periods must be mutually recognised by pension authorities, this does not mean that they are converted into national insurance periods.
21 – Glede tega je pomembno upo�tevati, da čeprav morajo pokojninski organi vzajemno priznavati zavarovalne dobe, pa to ne pomeni, da se te spremenijo v nacionalne zavarovalne dobe.

Člen 10 Uredbe �t. 1408/71 z naslovom „Odpoved pogoju stalnega prebivali�ča – učinek obveznega zavarovanja na povračilo prispevkov“ določa:
Save as otherwise provided in this Regulation, invalidity, old-age or survivors’ cash benefits, pensions for accidents at work or occupational diseases and death grants acquired under the legislation of one or more Member States shall not be subject to any reduction, modification, suspension, withdrawal or confiscation by reason of the fact that the recipient resides in the territory of a Member State other than that in which the institution responsible for payment is situated.
Kadar ta uredba ne določa drugače, se denarne dajatve za invalidnost, starost ter za preživele osebe, pokojnine za nesreče pri delu ali poklicne bolezni ter pomoči ob smrti, pridobljene po zakonodaji ene ali več držav članic, ne morejo zmanj�ati, spremeniti, začasno ustaviti, odvzeti ali zapleniti zaradi tega, ker prejemnik stalno prebiva na ozemlju druge države članice, kot je tista, v kateri se nahaja nosilec, ki je odgovoren za plačilo.
