C 329/2
(Case C-308/14)
2014/C 329/03
Language of the case: English
Parties
Applicant: European Commission (represented by: D. Martin, M. Wilderspin, agents)
Defendant: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The applicant claims that the Court should:
—declare that the United Kingdom, by the requirement that a claimant for Child Benefit or Child tax Credit have a right to reside in the United Kingdom, has failed to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 (1);
—order the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The Commission maintains that in requiring a claimant of Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit to have a right to reside in the United Kingdom as a condition of being treated as resident there, the United Kingdom has imposed a condition that Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 does not permit.
Alternatively the Commission submits that by imposing a condition of entitlement to social security benefits that is automatically met by its own nationals the United Kingdom has created a situation of direct discrimination against nationals of other Member States and thus breached article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.
(1) Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems OJ L 166, p. 1.
