Summary
Social security for migrant workers - Affiliation to a social security scheme - Conditions - Application of national legislation ( EEC Treaty, Article 51; Regulation No 1408/71 of the Council )
Article 51 of the EEC Treaty and Regulation No 1408/71 provide only for the aggregation of insurance periods completed in different Member States. They do not, however, regulate the conditions under which those insurance periods are constituted. The conditions governing the right or obligation to become a member of a social security scheme are a matter to be determined by the legislation of each Member State ( see the judgments of 12 July 1979 in Case 266/78 Brunori v Landesversicherungsanstalt Rheinproving (( 1979 )) ECR 2705 and of 24 April 1980 in Case 110/79 Coonan v Insurance Officer (( 1980 )) ECR 1445 ). They are not therefore applicable for the purpose of determining the conditions of affiliation to a social security scheme, whether compulsory or voluntary.
