Mrs Gillig’s report is concerned with the annual proposal to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 to take account of the development of national social security schemes, incorporate changes in national laws and take account of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities. The current Commission proposal seeks essentially to update aspects of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 relating to special non-contributory cash benefits following a number of decisions by the Court of Justice. The Court is of the view that these derogations from the principle of exportability of benefits must be interpreted strictly.
In this context, we must emphasise the importance, in an extraordinarily technical field, of ensuring that the national laws of the Member States are complied with in the field of social protection, whilst bearing in mind that the ultimate aim of the desired coordination of these systems is to guarantee a dual dimension: social security and social assistance, throughout the territory of the European Union. This becomes all the more important in situations involving people with disabilities or who are particularly dependent, such as those covered in the amendments we are now looking at. The concept of real cohesion and social inclusion makes this necessary. I therefore voted in favour."@en1
