In cases in which it was difficult to determine the system applicable, each of the competent institutions of the two Member States concerned would be inclined to take the view, to the detriment of the workers concerned, that its own social security system was applicable to those workers (judgment of 26 January 2006, Herbosch Kiere, C‑2/05, EU:C:2006:69, paragraph 25 and the case-law cited).
