Judgment_paragraph 33 · Theodora Hendrika Bouman v Rijksdienst voor Pensioenen (C-114/13)

33As regards the context of Article 46a(3)(c) of Regulation No 1408/71, it should be recalled that, according to settled case-law, Regulation No 1408/71 establishes a system for the coordination of national social security schemes and lays down, in Title II thereof, rules governing the determination of the legislation to be applied. Those rules are intended not only to ensure that the persons concerned are not left without social security cover because there is no legislation which is applicable to them, but also to ensure that the persons concerned are subject to the social security scheme of only one Member State, so that the complications arising from more than one system of national legislation being applicable are avoided (see judgment in I, C‑255/13, EU:C:2014:1291, paragraph 40 and the case-law cited).
