30It must be observed that the second subparagraph of Article 22(2) of Regulation No 1408/71 lays down two conditions which, if both are satisfied, render mandatory the grant by the competent institution of the prior authorisation applied for on the basis of Article 22(1)(c)(i). The first condition requires the treatment in question to be among the benefits provided for by the legislation of the Member State on whose territory the insured person resides. The second condition requires that the treatment which the latter plans to receive in a Member State other than that of residence cannot be given within the time normally necessary for obtaining the treatment in question in the Member State of residence, account being taken of his current state of health and the probable course of his disease (see, to that effect, Elchinov, C‑173/09, EU:C:2010:581, paragraphs 53 and 54, and case-law cited).
