The present amendments, considering one of the underlying principles of the Convention that there is a need to aspire harmonisation of the provisions of international regulations, fit in with the provisions of the Regulation 1408/71 of the Council of the European Union as it reads after Council of ministers has adopted the proposals to that effect on which the Administrative Commission on social security of migrating workers has agreed, as well as corresponding provisions in other international regulations in which the Netherlands are involved.

Amendment to Annex II of the Convention

Healthcare allowances are added here to the legislation and schemes to which this convention is applicable, so they will be exported.

Amendment to Annex VII of the Convention

Subsection a.

Subsection a indicates who is entitled to benefits pursuant to Netherlands legislation. This concerns two categories of persons: (a) persons who are compulsorily insured and (b) so-called contractually insured persons.

The first category is insured under the Health Care Insurance Act. The second category of insured have the right to health care funded by the Netherlands under this Convention. Hence the persons referred to in this subsection dot not create charges for the other Contracting Parties.

Subsection b.

Subsection b stipulates that persons whose health care is charged to the Netherlands must either be insured with a health care insurer (the group of persons referred to in a(i)) or must be registered with the College voor zorgverzekeringen (the group of persons referred to in a(ii)).

Subsection c.

Unlike the Health Insurance Act (Ziekenfondswet), the Health Care Insurance Act contains no reference to members of the family. This definition makes sure that members of the family of foreign insured that live in the Netherlands will be entitled to benefits in the Netherlands.

Subsection d.

If the persons concerned create costs for the Netherlands, the Netherlands is entitled to contributions or premiums in accordance with its legislation. This Convention already provides one legal basis, which concerns pensioners. However, the group of contractually insured persons also includes family members of employees or frontier workers. This Convention contains no legal basis concerning the levying a contribution for this category. For this reason subsection d. regulates the possibility of levying a contribution in cases in which persons are entitled to health care at the expense of the Netherlands pursuant to this Convention. The contributions are levied in accordance with Netherlands legislation. Subsection d. also stipulates that the Netherlands is entitled to levy a contribution from the principal insured person to cover the members of his family who are resident abroad.

Subsection e.

Section e makes it incumbent on the contractually insured persons, in other words the group of persons referred to in a(ii), to register with the College voor zorgverzekeringen. The reason why the provisions of the Health Care Insurance Act have been declared to apply mutatis mutandis in the event of delays in registration is to prevent the persons concerned from waiting to register with the College voor zorgverzekeringen until such time as the need for health care arises. As a result, persons concerned are only entitled to claim benefits against the Netherlands after they have registered with the College voor zorgverzekeringen, and the College voor zorgverzekeringen may, inter alia, decide to impose a fine in the event of late registration.

Subsection f.

The Health Care Insurance Act contains somewhat complicated rules as regards claims packages. Insured may choose between a range of policy variants, depending on the offers made by the insurers. It is up to the insurer to decide which policy variants to offer. The two basic variants are a policy whereby the insured has a right to health care, the so-called benefit-in-kind policy, and a policy whereby the insured has a right to reimbursement of the costs of health care, the so-called refund policy. Insurers can also offer other policy variants as regards benefits in kind or in cash which differ depending on the province and the nature of the care provided. It is in the interests of persons who obtain care in the Netherlands at the expense of another Contracting Party that there is no uncertainty about the content and the scope of the benefits they are entitled to. Hence the link up with a policy variant offered by the institution of the place of residence or the place of stay. On the basis of this policy, persons have a right to benefits in kind without own contributions. Hence the insured must not pay the health care provider for the costs of care, these costs being paid directly by the institution of the place of stay or by the institution of the place of residence.

Subsection g.

In this connection, registration is necessary so that the benefits in question, exclusively with the eye to the amendment of the abovementioned articles of this Convention, can be brought into line with a benefit or pension within the meaning of this Convention. As a result of registration, these persons are not charged to their country of residence but to the Netherlands. This ensures the continuity of social security coverage. Without registration the persons concerned would have to deal with shifting social security schemes.

Subsection h.

Given that the Dutch legislation on social healthcare insurance is residence based, this registration is necessary to prevent the situation where everybody residing in the Netherlands will be entitled to benefits in kind at the charge of the Netherlands, while there is a right to entitlements at the charge of another Contracting Party than the Netherlands.

Subsection i.

Pursuant to Netherlands law, everybody who pays a premium or a contribution has a right to a no-claim refund. However, persons resident or staying in the Netherlands who are insured abroad do not have such a right. Registration is necessary to rule out all doubts as to the nature of the no-claim refund. This precludes payment of a no-claim refund to persons residing or staying in the Netherlands who are insured abroad and, on the other hand, obliges the Netherlands to provide the no-claim refund to insured or contractually insured persons outside the Netherlands.

Amendment to Annex 1 to the Supplementary Agreement

Because the Minister van Volksgezondheid, Welzjin en Sport is the competent authority concerning health care insurances, he should also be mentioned here.

Amendment to Annex 2 to the Supplementary Agreement

Annex 2 concerns indication of the competent bodies. In the case of insured persons residing abroad, this is the health care insurer with whom care insurance has been concluded within the meaning of the Health Care Insurance Act. In the case of contractually insured persons resident abroad, two competent bodies are indicated: the College voor zorgverzekeringen for the registration and levying of the statutory contribution and a health care insurer to be designated by the Minister for Health, Welfare and Sport for the de facto provision of the care in question.

The Belastingdienst Toeslagen is added under a new subsection because this competent body is responsible for determining entitlement to a health care allowance.

Amendment to Annex 3 to the Supplementary Agreement

Annex 3 concerns indication of the institutions for the place of residence and the place of stay. The Minister for Health, Welfare and Sport designates a health care insurer to function as the institution for the place of residence as well as one to function as the institution of the place of stay.

Amendment to Annex 4 to the Supplementary Agreement

The Ziekenfondsraad has evolved into the College voor zorgverzekeringen.

Pursuant to the Health Care Allowance Act, the Belastingdienst Toeslagen in Utrecht is exclusively responsible for determining entitlement to a health care allowance and payment thereof. Hence this indication is necessary because otherwise the existing liaison body for benefits in cash would also be responsible for the health care allowance.

Amendment to Annex 7 to the Supplementary Agreement

The name and residence of the Ziekenfondsraad have changed.

Declaration contained in a letter from the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands, dated 20 February 1986, registered at the Secretariat General on 21 February 1986 — Or. Engl.

In addition to the letter of the Netherlands Permanent Representative No 1799 of 24 December 1985, I have the honour to bring the following to your attention in your capacity of depositary of the treaties listed in the annex.

The treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a Party (for the Kingdom in Europe) apply as of 1 January 1986 equally to Aruba.

List of treaties

.....

78. European Convention on Social Security, with Annexes and Supplementary Agreement (1972).

[Note by the Secretariat: The letter No 1799 of 24 December 1985 reads as follows:

«The island of Aruba, which is at present still part of the Netherlands Antilles, will obtain internal autonomy as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands as of 1 January 1986. Consequently the Kingdom will from then on no longer consist of two countries, namely the Netherlands (the Kingdom in Europe) and the Netherlands Antilles (situated in the Caribbean region), but will consist of three countries, namely the said two countries and the country Aruba.»

As the changes being made on 1 January 1986 concern a shift only in the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as the Kingdom as such will remain the subject under international law with which treaties are concluded, the said changes will have no consequences in international law regarding to treaties concluded by the Kingdom which already apply to the Netherlands Antilles, including Aruba. These treaties will remain in force for Aruba in its new capacity of country within the Kingdom. Therefore these treaties will as of 1 January 1986, as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands, apply to the Netherlands Antilles (without Aruba) and Aruba.

Consequently the treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a Party and which apply to the Netherlands Antilles, will as of 1 January 1986 as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands apply to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.»]
