33The sole purpose of Article 13(2) of Regulation No 1408/71 is to determine the national legislation applicable to persons who are in one of the situations referred to in subparagraphs (a) to (f) of that provision. It is not intended to lay down the conditions creating the right or the obligation to become affiliated to a social security scheme or to a particular branch under such a scheme. It is for the legislature of each Member State to lay down those conditions, including those concerning termination of insurance (Case C-2/89 Kits van Heijningen [1990] ECR I-1755, paragraph 19, and Kuusijärvi, cited above, paragraph 29).
