Case C-549/22, Social Insurance:

X – v – Raad van bestuur van de Sociale verzekeringsbank, reference lodged by the Centrale Raad van Beroep (The Netherlands) on 18 August 2022

Must Article 68(4) of the Association Agreement be interpreted as applying to a survivor of a deceased worker who resides in Algeria and who wishes to export her survivors’ benefit to Algeria?
If so, must Article 68(4) of the Association Agreement, having regard to its wording and to its purpose and nature, be interpreted as having direct effect, so that persons to whom that provision applies are entitled to rely on it directly before the Member States’ courts to have rules of national law which are contrary to it disapplied?
If so, must Article 68(4) of the Association Agreement be interpreted as precluding the application of the country-of-residence principle, as referred to in Article 17(3) of the Algemene nabestaandenwet (General Law on Survivors), which results in a restriction on the export of the survivors’ benefit to Algeria?
