Application des nouveaux règlements communautaires n° 883/2004 et 987/2009 au sein de l’UE à partir du 1er mai 2010 – Conséquences pour la Suisse A partir du 1er mai 2010, les règlements 1408/71 et 574/72 seront remplacés par le règlement (CE) n° 883/2004 (JO L 200 du 7.6.2004) et son règlement d’application (CE) n° 987/2009 (JO L 284 du 30.10.2009) dans les 27 Etats membres de l’UE.

Les nouveaux règlements 883/2004 et 987/2009 ne sont pour l’instant pas applicables dans les relations entre la Suisse et les Etats membres de l’UE. La date d’entrée en vigueur pour la Suisse de ces règlements est encore inconnue. Une information à ce sujet sera diffusée en temps opportun.

Comme cela fut déjà le cas lors des précédentes actualisations du droit communautaire, les experts suisses et de la Commission européenne examinent la reprise des nouveaux règlements dans le cadre d’une actualisation de l’annexe II de l’Accord sur la libre circulation des personnes. L’accent est mis sur une mise en œuvre rapide des nouvelles dispositions par la Suisse. La coordination multilatérale des systèmes nationaux de sécurité sociale ne peut réellement fonctionner que si toutes les Parties appliquent les mêmes règles.

A partir du 1er mai 2010, de nouveaux formulaires seront mis en circulation dans les Etats membres de l’UE.

A l’issue d’une période transitoire d’au moins deux ans, l’échange des formulaires E papier actuellement utilisés sera remplacé par des échanges de formulaires électroniques appelés SED’s (Structured Electronic Document). Les SED’s ont un contenu similaire aux formulaires E papier actuels.

Durant la période transitoire, les formulaires E papier seront progressivement remplacés par les SED’s provisoirement utilisés en format papier et ayant en principe le même aspect que les formulaires E. Ils seront ensuite convertis en échanges électroniques. En outre, de nouveaux documents portables (Portable Document ; PD) seront introduits.

La Suisse étudie l’opportunité de participer à cet échange électronique.

Bulletin à l'intention des caisses de compensation AVS et des organes d'exécution des PC No.

Aussi longtemps que la Suisse ne reprend pas formellement les nouveaux règlements, les nouveaux formulaires communautaires ne sont pas utilisables dans les relations entre la Suisse et les Etats membres de l’UE.

Toutefois, il n’est pas exclu qu’une institution ou un organisme d’un Etat membre de l’UE émette erronément un nouveau formulaire (PD ou SED papier) à l’attention d’une caisse de compensation suisse. Dans un tel cas, nous vous serions reconnaissants de bien vouloir observer une grande souplesse lors de l’examen de la validité d’un tel document. Seule une application pragmatique et flexible des règles de coordination évitera de compromettre les droits des assurés mobiles.

A titre d’information, vous trouverez en annexe des versions provisoires des documents portables qui sont pertinents pour l’AVS. Les versions anglaises définitives de ces documents seront disponibles sur le site de la Commission européenne (DG EMPL) dans le courant du mois de mai ; ils seront traduits dans toutes les langues officielles d’ici la fin de l’année 2010.

INFORMATION FOR THE HOLDER

Your claim for an invalidity/survivors/old age pension with [name of the institute] led, on the basis of European legislation, also to appraisal of a claim in the other countries of the European Union where you have worked or have been insured. In this document we give you a summary of how the institutions concerned have assessed these claims. The purpose of this overview is to allow you to assess whether or not your right to a pension in one or more Member States has been adversely affected by the interaction of decisions taken by two or more institutions. For instance, your pension could be reduced in view of other income or benefit; it could also be affected by rules regarding the overlapping of periods. For details please check the relevant national pension decision or contact the pension institution which issued the pension decision. Under Article 48 of Regulation 987/09, your request for review has to be submitted to the institution concerned within the time limits laid down in the national legislation of the Member State concerned. These time limits shall commence on the date of receipt of this summary. You will find the relevant time limit and the address of the institution below. This right to a review should be distinguished from the right to an appeal under national law against a decision by a pension institution on a claim for a pension. A request for a review can only be granted in case your rights to a pension are adversely affected by the interaction of national pension decisions. This document states the pension decision from each institution that has investigated your claim. The amount of the pension may depend on the length and the character of the insurance periods. We are not supplying you here with an exhaustive overview of the way in which each separate member state has taken into account insured periods since the appraisal of these periods can differ as a result of different national provisions.
