Дело C-92/02: Kristiansen, Заключение от 6 март 2003 г.

1) In respect of members of the temporary staff of the EC who, after the end of their period of service with the EC, reside in Belgium, and in respect of whom no contributions were deducted in favour of the social security system, and who are entitled to unemployment benefits paid by the EC, do the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 preclude national legislation from being fully applied to them, including the national rule against the overlapping of benefits under which, in accordance with the conditions governing the award of unemployment benefit, the employee must be out of work and not in receipt of remuneration, the latter term being defined to include in particular: payment in lieu of notice or any compensation payable to the employee in respect of termination of his contract of employment, with the exception of compensation for non-material damage?

2) Does it run counter to Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of the Council (Article 7(4) of Title II), which provides that uniformity in social security matters must be pursued and that there may be no discrimination, that (in the applicant's view) there is inequality in the social security status of postgraduate students within the EEA, in that in various Member States of the EEA a postgraduate student is deemed to carry on an occupational activity, albeit not subject to social security, and in Belgium a postgraduate student (in the applicant's view unjustly) is deemed to be a trainee fellowship student, who must arrange for his own social security cover under the Belgian national system although that is not possible on a voluntary basis (at any rate in regard to unemployment insurance)?
