(Article 72, paragraph 1)
PARTICULAR MEASURES FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE
LEGISLATION OF THE CONTRACTING PARTIES
I. Application of the legislation of Austria
A. Application of Austrian Legislation concerning Sickness
Insurance, Insurance against Occupational Injuries and Diseases
and Pensions Insurance
(1) The provisions of Article 8, paragraph 1 of this Convention
and the corresponding provisions of the bilateral conventions
mentioned in Annex III do not affect the provision of Austrian
legislation concerning the acquired rights or rights in the course
of acquisition to benefits under pensions insurance or under
insurance against occupational injuries and diseases in respect of
occupational activities followed abroad, or the provisions
concerning the caking into account of periods of self-employment
completed in the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy
but outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Austria.
(2) The provisions of Article 8, paragraph 1 of this Convention
do not affect the provisions of the bilateral conventions between
Austria and other States which govern Insurance liabilities.
(3) By virtue of the provisions of Article 8, paragraph 1 of
this Convention, the following periods are considered as
equivalent periods for nationals of other Contracting Parties,
without prejudice to the other requirements:
(a) with regard to the First World War, periods of war
service in the Austro-Hungarian army or in the army of a State
which was an ally of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, as well as
the equivalent periods of captivity (internment) and
subsequent repatriation;
(b) with regard to the Second World War, periods of war
service in the armed forces of the former German Reich and its
allies, periods of military service or labour service, as well
as the equivalent periods of first-aid service, civil defence
service, or captivity (internment) and subsequent
repatriation.
(4) To the extent that, by virtue of the provisions of Austrian
legislation, the receipt of social insurance benefits or other
income, the following of an occupational activity or the
establishment of a social insurance situation have legal effects
on entitlement to benefits, on the award of benefits, on the
subjection to compulsory insurance or on the admission to
voluntary insurance, then the benefits paid, the income received,
the activity followed or the situation established in the
territory or under the legislation of another Contracting Party
have the same legal effects.
(5) For the purpose of the acquisition, maintenance or recovery
of entitlement to benefit, corresponding periods completed under
the legislation of any Contracting Party shall also be considered
as neutral periods within the meaning of Austrian legislation.
(6) The provisions of Chapter 2 of Title III of this Convention
are not applicable to benefits under pensions insurance for self-
employed persons in commerce or under supplementary pensions
insurance in agriculture awarded to persons who were already above
a given age at the time of the entry into force of the legislation
applicable.
(7) For the purpose of determining, under Austrian pensions
insurance, the scheme under which entitlement to benefits exists
and the competent institution for the provision of benefits,
periods of insurance completed under the legislation of other
Contracting Parties are taken into consideration according to the
nature of the occupational activity followed during those periods.
Periods of insurance during which no occupational activity has
been followed are taken into consideration according to the nature
of the last occupational activity followed before such periods;
where the nature of the occupational activity cannot be
established or where during the whole duration of insurance no
occupational activity has been followed, these periods of
insurance are taken into consideration as if they had been
completed under conditions according to which the Social Insurance
Institute for Wage-Earners would be competent. Periods, during
which there exists or has existed a right by virtue of the
insurance of another Contracting Party on account of invalidity or
old age, are taken into consideration according to the nature of
the last occupational activity followed before the contingency
arose. In order to determine if entitlement to benefits exists
under the Austrian miner's pensions insurance scheme, periods of
insurance completed under the legislation of other Contracting
Parties are only taken into consideration in so far as they are
periods within the meaning of the provisions of Article 28,
paragraph 4, of this Convention.
(8) Periods of insurance which have not been completed but
which, by virtue of Austrian legislation, have to be considered as
periods of insurance, are taken into consideration as if they had
been completed under Austrian legislation.
(9) Where, in application of the provisions of Article 30,
paragraph 1, subparagraph (a), of this Convention, the basis of
contribution for the purposes of assessment cannot be determined
by virtue of the provisions of Austrian legislation in chose cases
in which the reference dare is prior to 1 January 1962, the basis
of contribution will be determined by multiplying the usual wage
earned on 31 December 1946 by a worker of the same category with
the coefficient fixed by the Austrian legislation, subject to the
ceiling of the basis of contribution in force for the period under
consideration.
(10) In determining the theoretical amount by virtue of the
provisions of Article 29, paragraph 2, of this Convention, the
periods of insurance by virtue of the provisions of the
legislation of other Contracting Parties shall be taken into
consideration without regard to the provisions or Austrian
legislation concerning the caking into consideration of periods of
insurance.
(11) For the application of the provisions of Article 29,
paragraphs 2 and 4, of this Convention, the following rules are
applicable:
(a) concurrent periods of insurance are co be taken into
consideration within the limits of their duration;
(b) the equalisation supplements under the provisions of
Austrian legislation are co be calculated after the
determination of the amount of the benefits due.
(12) Where, in calculating the amount of the Austrian
supplement, the maximum number of insurance months has to be taken
into consideration, the proportionate amount referred to in
Article 29, paragraph 4, of this Convention shall be determined on
the basis of all periods of insurance taken into consideration for
the calculation of the theoretical amount without regard to chat
maximum number.
(13) The provisions of Austrian legislation concerning the
suspension of pensions, in the case where the beneficiary is
abroad, shall be applied after the determination of the partial
benefit, whereas those concerning other situations shall be
applied before the determination of the partial benefit.
(14) Periods of insurance completed under the legislations of
other Contracting Parties are not taken into consideration as far
as the qualifying conditions for the miners' long service bonus
and the award of that bonus are concerned.
(15) The helpless persons' allowances shall be calculated, by
virtue of the provisions of Austrian legislation, on the basis of
the amount of the Austrian benefit determined in the application
of the provisions of Article 29, paragraph 4, of this Convention,
subject to the maximum amount proportionately reduced according to
chose provisions. If the helpless persons' allowance is a fixed
amount, this amount is proportionately reduced according to the
provisions of paragraph 4 of the said Article 29. Where, by virtue
of the provisions of Austrian legislation, entitlement to benefits
exists without making use of the provisions of Article 28,
paragraph 1, of this Convention, the maximum amount (or the fixed
amount)shall not be reduced, unless a helpless persons' allowance
or a similar benefit has been awarded by virtue of the provisions
of the legislation of another Contracting Party.
(16) The special pension payments provided under Austrian
pensions insurance are payable at the same rate as the benefit
determined by virtue of the provisions of Article 29, paragraph 4,
of this Convention; the provisions of Article 34 of this
Convention are applicable, mutatis mutandis.
(17) The provisions of Article 28, paragraph 1, of this
Convention shall not apply under the legislation of Austria to any
claim to premature old-age pension as defined in that legislation
in the case of unemployment or lengthy insurance.

Insurance

Convention do not affect the provisions of Austrian legislation
concerning emergency allowances.

Convention concerning the adding together of periods are not
applicable for the acquisition of the right to unpaid leave
benefits.
II. Application of the legislation of Denmark
With regard to unemployment benefits, the Government of Denmark
undertakes to encourage the approved Unemployment Funds to apply
the provisions of this Convention in so far as they are in force
in respect of Denmark.
III. Application of the legislation of France
(1) The principle of equality of treatment set forth in Article
8 of this Convention does not apply to Act No. 65-555 of 10 July
1965 which provides for Frenchmen who follow or who have followed
abroad a salaried or non-salaried occupational activity the
possibility of adhering 10 the voluntary old-age insurance scheme.
(2) The right to allowances for elderly employed persons, old-
age non-contributory allowances for persons other than employed
persons and to the special allowance is granted, in application of
this Convention, only for persons who prove that they have resided
in France for at least ten years between the age of sixteen and
the age of entitlement to the said allowances, including five
consecutive years immediately preceding the lodging of the claim.
(3) The provisions of this Convention do not affect the
provisions of French legislation by virtue of which periods of
occupational activity completed in French territory are taken into
consideration for entitlement to allowances for elderly employed
persons and to old-age non-contributory allowances for persons
other than employed persons.
(4) The special allowances and the cumulative allowances
provided under the social security scheme for miners are only
provided for persons who work in French mines.
(5) The principle of equality of treatment set forth in Article
8 of this Convention does not apply to the legislation concerning
income guarantees for employed persons who lose their employment.
Entitlement to benefits provided under this legislation is subject
to the condition that the person concerned has resided in France
for at lease three months immediately preceding the lodging of the
claim.
IV. Application of the legislation of the
Federal Republic of Germany
(1) (a) In so far as compensation is not already provided under
German legislation concerning compulsory accident insurance, the
German institutions compensate, by virtue of the provisions of
this Convention, so long as the worker who has sustained an
occupational injury or contracted an occupational disease or his
survivors reside in the territory of a Contracting Party, for
accidents which happened or for occupational diseases which were
contracted in Alsace-Lorraine before 1 January 1919, if this
liability has not been assumed by French institutions in
accordance with the decision of the Council of the League of
Nations dated 21 June 1921 (Reichsgesetzblatt p. 1289).
(b) The provisions of Article 11 of this Convention do not
affect the provisions of German legislation by virtue of which
accidents which happened or occupational diseases which were
contracted outside the territory of the Federal Republic of
Germany, as well as periods completed outside this territory, do
not give rise or give rise only under certain conditions to
payment of benefits when the beneficiaries reside outside the
territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.
(2) (a) In order to determine whether the periods treated under
German legislation as periods of interruption (Ausfallzeiten) or
supplementary periods (Zurechnungszeiten) shall be taken into
account as such periods, compulsory contributions paid by virtue
of the legislation of another Contracting Party and compulsory
insurance under the pensions insurance of another Contracting
Party are deemed to be equivalent co compulsory contributions paid
by virtue of German legislation and to compulsory insurance under
German pensions insurance. In calculating the number of calendar
months of compulsory insurance before the contingency arose, the
concurrent periods, which are deemed to be equivalent by virtue of
the legislation of another Contracting Party, are not taken into
consideration, nor those periods during which the person concerned
has drawn a pension.
(b) The preceding sub-paragraph is not applicable to the fixed
period of interruption (pauschale Ausfallzeit).
(c) The taking into account of a supplementary period
(Zurechnungszeit) by virtue of German legislation concerning
pensions insurance for miners is subject to the condition that the
last contribution paid by virtue of German legislation has been
paid to the pensions insurance for miners.
(d) For the taking into account of German compensation periods
(Ersatzzeiten), only German legislation is applicable.
(3) (a) Where a pension on account of an occupational
invalidity (Berufsunfahigkeit) or general invalidity
(Erwerbsunfahigkeit) or old age, due by virtue of German
legislation, and a pension due by virtue of the legislation of
another Contracting Party in respect of an occupational injury or
disease overlap, there will be taken into consideration as annual
remuneration the remuneration which by virtue of German
legislation should be taken into consideration at the time of the
accident for a worker in a comparable situation having sustained
an occupational injury; for this purpose, the provisions in force
at the place of residence of the person concerned in the territory
of the Federal Republic of Germany, or if he resides outside this
territory, the provisions in force at the place where the
competent institution of German pensions insurance is situated,
are to be applied. The remuneration of the worker concerned shall
be determined or recalculated according to the provisions of
German legislation.
(b) The total of the accident insurance pension and the
theoretical amount within the meaning of Article 29, paragraph 2,
of this Convention, but excluding supplementary benefits,
children's supplements and increments of complementary insurance
(Hoherversicherung), is compared with the maximum amount taken
into consideration in application of the preceding sub-paragraph.
The sum whose coral exceeds the maximum amount in question
constitutes the notional amount of the reduction. This amount is
divided up in proportion to the duration of insurance in
accordance with the provisions of Article 29, paragraph 4, of this
Convention; the part corresponding to the duration of German
insurance shall be deducted from the German portion.
(4) With regard to the suppression of compensatory benefits
under the miners' scheme, mining undertakings in the territory of
another Contracting Parry are regarded as equivalent to German
mining undertakings.
(5) German pensions insurance institutions apply Article 29,
paragraph 5, of this Convention when:
(a) legislation in force before 1 January 1957 concerning the
calculation of the pension is applicable;
(b) a supplementary period (Zurechnungszeit) is to be taken
into consideration; or

arc not applicable to the pensions insurance in the iron and steel
industry (Saar) nor to the pension scheme for elderly farmers.

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 74, paragraph 3,
of this Convention, periods of insurance and equivalent periods
completed before 1 January 1946 under Luxembourg legislation on
pensions insurance (invalidity, old age and death) are taken into
consideration for the application of that legislation only in so
far as the rights in the course of acquisition have been
maintained at the time of the entry into force of this Convention
or recovered subsequently in conformity solely with that
legislation or with bilateral social security conventions in force
or to be concluded. In the event of several of such conventions
applying, periods of insurance and equivalent periods are taken
into consideration as from the earliest date.
(2) For the purposes of entitlement to the basic part of
Luxembourg pensions, periods of insurance completed under
Luxembourg legislation by workers not resident on Luxembourg
territory are considered as periods of residence.
(3) Supplements provided, where appropriate, to increase
minimum pensions, as well as supplements for children are paid in
the same proportion as the basic pare for which the State and the
municipalities are responsible.

age pension under such legislation.
(5) Where a married woman's husband has been subject to
Netherlands legislation on old-age insurance or is deemed to have
completed periods of insurance within the meaning of paragraph 1
above, the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs are
applicable, mutatis mutandis.
(6) Periods prior to 1 January 1957 are only taken into

gainfully employed in the Netherlands by an employer in that
country, are likewise considered as periods of insurance completed

considered as periods of insurance completed under Netherlands
legislation on insurance against incapacity for work.

regulation of insurance against incapacity for work, adjusted to
changes in the wage index since 1 July 1967.
(3) The provisions of Article 35, paragraph 1, sub-paragraphs

institutions in regard to benefits calculated on the basis of an
invalidity of less than 45 per cent, if the aggravation of the pre-
existing invalidity is obviously due to a cause other than that
which has brought about the invalidity in respect of which the
benefits are drawn.
