2. For the application of Article 29 of the Convention, the periods of old-age insurance completed by non-employed persons prior to the entry into farce of the legislation on incapacity for work of self-employed persons shall be considered to be periods completed under the latter legislation.

3.

III. Application of the legislation of Denmark

With regard to unemployment benefits, the Government of Denmark undertakes to encourage the approved Unemployment Funds to apply the provisions of this Convention in so far as they are in force in respect of Denmark.

IV. Application of the legislation of France

2. The right to allowances for elderly employed persons, old-age non-contributory allowances for persons other than employed persons and to the special allowance is granted, in application of this Convention, only for persons who prove that they have resided in France for at least ten years between the age of sixteen and the age of entitlement to the said allowances, including five consecutive years immediately preceding the lodging of the claim.

V. Application of the legislation of Germany

1. a) In so far as compensation is not already provided under German legislation concerning compulsory accident insurance, the German institutions compensate, by virtue of the provisions of this Convention, so long as the worker who has sustained an occupational injury or contracted an occupational disease or his survivors reside in the territory of a Contracting Party, for accidents which happened or for occupational diseases which were contracted in Alsace-Lorraine before 1 January 1919, if this liability has not been assumed by French institutions in accordance with the decision of the Council of the League of Nations dated 21 June 1921 (Reichsgesetzblatt p. 1289).

• b) The provisions of Article 11 of this Convention do not affect the provisions of German legislation by virtue of which accidents which happened or occupational diseases which were contracted outside the territory of Germany, as well as periods completed outside this territory, do not give rise or give rise only under certain conditions to payment of benefits when the beneficiaries reside outside the territory of Germany.

2. a) In order to determine whether the periods treated under German legislation as periods of interruption (Ausfallzeiten) or supplementary periods (Zurechnungszeiten) shall be taken into account as such periods, compulsory contributions paid by virtue of the legislation of another Contracting Party and compulsory insurance under the pensions insurance of another Contracting Party are deemed to be equivalent to compulsory contributions paid by virtue of German legislation and to compulsory insurance under German pensions insurance. In calculating the number of calendar months of compulsory insurance before the contingency arose, the concurrent periods, which are deemed to be equivalent by virtue of the legislation of another Contracting Party, are not taken into consideration, nor those periods during which the person concerned has drawn a pension.

• b) The preceding sub-paragraph is not applicable to the fixed period of interruption (pauschale Ausfallzeit).

• c) The taking into account of a supplementary period (Zurechnungszeit) by virtue of German legislation concerning pensions insurance for miners is subject to the condition that the last contribution paid by virtue of German legislation has been paid to the pensions insurance for miners.

• d) For the taking into account of German compensation periods (Ersatzzeiten), only German legislation is applicable.

3. a) Where a pension on account of an occupational invalidity (Berufsunfähigkeit) or general invalidity (Erwerbsunfähigkeit) or old age, due by virtue of German legislation, and a pension due by virtue of the legislation of another Contracting Party in respect of an occupational injury or disease overlap, there will be taken into consideration as annual remuneration the remuneration which by virtue of German legislation should be taken into consideration at the time of the accident of a worker in a comparable situation having sustained an occupational injury; for this purpose, the provisions in force at the place of residence of the person concerned in the territory of Germany, or if he resides outside this territory, the provisions in force at the place where the competent institution of German pensions insurance is situated, are to be applied. The remuneration of the worker concerned shall be determined or recalculated according to the provisions of German legislation.

• b) The total of the accident insurance pension and the theoretical amount within the meaning of Article 29, paragraph 2, of this Convention, but excluding supplementary benefits, childrens supplements and increments of complementary insurance (Höherversicherung), is compared with the maximum amount taken into consideration in application of the preceding sub-paragraph. The sum whose total exceeds the maximum amount in question constitutes the national amount of the reduction. This amount is divided up in proportion to the duration of insurance in accordance with the provisions of Article 29, paragraph 4, of this Convention; the part corresponding to the duration of German insurance shall be deducted from the German portion.

4. With regard to the suppression of compensatory benefits under the miners' scheme, mining undertakings in the territory of another Contracting Party are regarded as equivalent to German mining undertakings.

5. German pensions insurance institutions (do not) apply Article 29, paragraph 5, of this Convention when:

VI. Application of the legislation of Luxembourg

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 74, paragraph 2, of this Convention, Periods of insurance and equivalent periods completed before 1 January 1946 under Luxembourg legislation on pensions insurance (invalidity, old age and death) are taken into consideration for the application of that legislation only in so far as the rights in the course of acquisition have been maintained at the time of the entry into force of this Convention or recovered subsequently in conformity solely with that legislation or with bilateral social security conventions in force or to be concluded. In the event of several of such conventions applying, periods of insurance and equivalent periods are taken into consideration as from the earliest date.

If that activity was carried out on board a ship flying the Netherlands flag it is treated as if it had been exercised in the Netherlands.

2. Periods are not to be taken into account by virtue of the preceding paragraph when they coincide with periods taken into consideration for the calculation of old-age pensions due under the legislation of another Contracting Party.

A reservation is made on the provisions of Article 39, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Federal Act on invalidity insurance.

Special old-age survivors' insurance pensions are awarded to nationals of the Contracting Parties subject to the condition that they have resided in Switzerland throughout ten years immediately preceding the lodging of the claim in the case of old-age pensions, or subject to the condition that the deceased has resided in Switzerland throughout five years immediately preceding the lodging of the claim in the case of survivors' pensions or old-age pensions payable in lieu thereof.

3. Where nationals of the Contracting Parties have acquired a right to benefits under Swiss invalidity, old-age and survivors' insurance, the provisions of Article 29, paragraph 5, of this Convention will be applied for the calculation of the amount of the pensions due under Swiss insurance.

4. With regard to entitlement to ordinary invalidity pensions, nationals of the Contracting Parties are deemed to be insured within the meaning of Swiss legislation if, at the time of the commencement of invalidity, they are covered by pensions insurance of any Contracting Party or if they are entitled to invalidity benefits under the legislation of any Contracting Party.
