Judgment_paragraph 33 · Snezhana Somova v Glaven direktor na Stolichno upravlenie ‘Sotsialno osiguryavane’ (C-103/13)

33With respect to whether national legislation such as that at issue in the main proceedings is an unlawful restriction on the freedom of movement of workers, it should be pointed out that the Court has consistently held that Regulation No 1408/71 does not set up a common scheme of social security, but allows different national social security schemes to exist; its sole objective is to ensure the coordination of those schemes. Thus, Member States retain the power to organise their social security schemes (see judgment in Salgado González, C‑282/11, EU:C:2013:86, paragraph 35 and the case-law cited).
