THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 48 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems1, and in particular Article 72(f) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems2, and in particular Articles 8, 9 and 92 thereof,
Whereas:
Requests were made by Member States to the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems for entries in Annex 1 to Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 to be amended in order to bring that Annex in line with developments in their national legislation.
Annex 1 to Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 aims at giving an overview of the implementing provisions for bilateral agreements between Member States that remain in force on the basis of Article 8(1) of that Regulation or that are concluded and listed on the basis of Articles 8(2) and 9(2) of the same Regulation.
The Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems has made relevant proposals to the Commission for the requested amendments on the basis of Article 72(f) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.
The Commission agreed to include the proposals for the technical amendments to Annex 1 of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009.
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1372/20133 in Article 1(2) erroneously amended Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 883/2004. That amending provision should therefore be deleted. For reasons of legal clarity the deletion of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1372/2013 should apply retroactively from 1 January 2014.
Regulations (EC) No 987/2009 and (EU) No 1372/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
