ANNEX
Article 1
The general rule laid down by paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 11 of the Agreement
shall be interpreted as permitting the pension insurance institutions of the Federal
Republic of Germany to calculate the benefits for which they are liable by proceeding
as follows :
(a) benefits or benefit components which vary with the time spent in insurance and are
determined with sole regard to the period spent under German laws and regulations
shall be payable without reduction; and
(b) benefits or benefit components which are determined independently of the time
spent in insurance shall be reduced in the ratio of the periods counted for the purpose
of reckoning benefits according to German laws and regulations to the total of the
periods counted for the purpose of reckoning benefits according to the laws and
regulations governing all the institutions concerned.
Article 2
For the interpretation of paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 8 and of paragraphs 3 and 4
of Article 11 of the Agreement, insurance periods or equivalent periods spent in another
contracting country shall be deemed to be periods of contribution for the purposes of
the laws and regulations of the Netherlands.
