PART B
EXCHANGE OF NOTES CONSTITUTING AN AGREEMENT, DONE AT CANBERRA ON 31 MAY 2000, AMENDING AND CLARIFYING THE AGREEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF ITALY OF 13 SEPTEMBER 1993

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade presents its compliments to the Embassy of Italy and has the honour to refer to the Agreement on Social Security between Australia and the Republic of Italy, done at Rome on 13 September 1993 ("the Agreement") and to recent discussions between the relevant authorities of Australia and the Republic of Italy.

The Department notes that since the agreement was signed there have been changes to the legislation of both Parties which affect the interpretation and implementation of the Agreement.

Therefore the Department has the honour to propose the following amendments to, and clarifications of the Agreement:

  1. The definition in Article 1.1(g) of the Agreement shall be read as follows:

  "(g) institution – means an institution apart from the competent authority, which is responsible for the application of this Agreement as specified in the administrative arrangements for this Agreement."

  2. The definition in Article 1.1(h) of "Italian integration" shall be read so as to include also the differential amount according to Law 335/95 of Italy in addition to that which is already covered in that definition.
