COUNCIL DECISION
of 6 December 2012
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Association Council set up by the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, with regard to the adoption of provisions on the coordination of social security systems
(2012/776/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 48, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Turkey (1) (the ‘Agreement’) and the Additional Protocol to the Agreement of 23 November 1970 (2) (the ‘Additional Protocol’) provide that the freedom of movement for workers between the Union and Turkey is to be secured by progressive stages. |
(2) |
Article 9 of the Agreement provides that within the scope of the Agreement any discrimination on grounds of nationality is prohibited. |
(3) |
Article 39 of the Additional Protocol provides that the Association Council is to adopt social security measures for workers of Turkish nationality moving within the Union and for their families residing in the Union. |
(4) |
As a first step towards the implementation of Article 39 of the Additional Protocol and of Article 9 of the Agreement in the field of social security, Decision No 3/80 on the application of the social security schemes of the Member States of the European Communities to Turkish workers and members of their families (3) (‘Decision No 3/80’) was adopted by the Association Council on 19 September 1980. |
(5) |
It is necessary to ensure that in the field of social security, Article 9 of the Agreement and Article 39 of the Additional Protocol are fully implemented. |
(6) |
There is a need to update the implementing provisions currently contained in Decision No 3/80 so that they reflect developments in the field of European Union social security coordination (4). |
(7) |
Decision No 3/80 should therefore be repealed and replaced with a Decision of the Association Council that, in one single step, implements the relevant provisions of the Agreement and of the Additional Protocol regarding the coordination of social security systems. |
(8) |
It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the Association Council, with regard to the adoption of provisions on the coordination of social security systems. |
(9) |
The position of the Union within the Association Council should therefore be based on the attached draft decision, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Association Council set up by the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, with regard to the adoption of provisions on the coordination of social security systems, shall be based on the draft decision of the Association Council attached to this Decision.
Minor changes to that draft decision may be agreed to by the representatives of the Union in the Association Council without the need to adopt a further Council decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
Done at Brussels, 6 December 2012.
For the Council
The President
