Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 12/18/2019

Subject: The Court affirmed that an additional benefit paid to certain high-level sportspersons who have represented a Member State or its legal predecessors in international sporting competitions is not covered by the ‘old-age benefit’ referred to Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems in that provision and, consequently, falls outside the scope of that regulation. However, the Court affirmed that Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 on freedom of movement for workers within the Union precludes legislation of a Member State which makes receipt of an additional benefit introduced for certain high-level sportspersons who have represented that Member State or its legal predecessors in international sporting competitions conditional upon, in particular, the person applying for the benefit having the nationality of that Member State
