44As a preliminary matter it should be pointed out that it is clear from the structure and wording of Articles 67 and 71 of Regulation No 1408/71 that the application of the aggregation rules in Article 67 is independent of the application of the rules in Article 71 concerning designation of the applicable legislation (see Case 388/87 Warmerdam-Steggerda [1989] ECR 1203, paragraph 18). That means that the aggregation rules contained in Article 67 are applicable even where the legislation applicable in regard to unemployment benefits would have been determined under the rules in Article 71. Moreover such an eventuality is provided for in Article 67(3) of that regulation.Classification as a ‘[Period of employment] completed as an employed person under the legislation of [another] Member State’ for the purposes of Article 67(1) of Regulation No 1408/71
