26That reference to domestic legislation clearly shows that Regulation No 1408/71, particularly for the purposes of aggregation of periods of insurance, refers to the conditions to which domestic law subjects recognition of a specific period as equivalent to periods of insurance properly so called (see, as regards Regulation No 3 of the Council of 25 September 1958 concerning social security for migrant workers (Journal Officiel 1958, p. 561), the judgment in Case 14/67 Landesversicherungsanstalt Rheinland-Pfalz v Weichner [1967] ECR 331, at page 337, and, as regards Regulation No 1408/71, the judgment in Case C-324/88 Velia and Others [1990] ECR I-257). However, such recognition of periods must be consistent with the provisions of the EC Treaty on the free movement of persons (see, in particular, Case C-302/90 Faux [1991] ECR I-4875, paragraphs 25 to 28, and Case C-322/95 Iurlaro [1997] ECR I-4881, paragraph 28).
