33Ms Koschitzki relies on a number of arguments based on an interpretation of Articles 46(3), 46a and 46c of Regulation No 1408/71. First, she submits that the income ceiling laid down by Italian law must be regarded as a provision on reduction of benefit within the meaning of Articles 46a and 46c. Second, she takes the view that, in accordance with Article 46(3), her entitlement to a pension under Article 46 (2) must be calculated, in the first stage, without consideration of national provisions relating to reduction of benefit. Reduction provisions are applicable only in the second stage of the calculation, when a comparison is made between the amount of the benefit due under the national law alone applying its anti-overlapping rules, and the amount of the benefit due under Community law applying its anti-overlapping rules. Ms Koschitzki cites, in that connection, the judgment in Joined Cases C-90/91 and C-91/91 Di Crescenzo and Casagrande [1992] ECR I-3851, paragraph 27.
