Social security: employed persons, self-employed persons and their families (amend. Regul. 1408/71/EEC, 574/72/EEC)

In its amended proposal, the Commission incorporated the two amendments adopted by Parliament, namely: - an amendment to Article 22a of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 such that nationals of third countries and members of their family who are insured under the legislation of a Member State will no longer (as at present) be deprived of entitlement to urgently required health care during a stay on the territory of another Member State, - rescission of a derogation enabling the Netherlands to apply its health-care system to students and persons undergoing vocational training in the Netherlands and to members of their family who accompany them during that period, bearing in mind that this system requires registration and reimbursement on the basis of the average cost to be paid in the form of a lump sum (the persons concerned generate relatively little expenditure in the health-care sector, and the calculation of a lump sum for them does not seem reasonable).�
