25It must be borne in mind that the provisions both of Regulation No 1408/71 and of Regulation No 883/2004 do not set up a common scheme of social security, but have the sole objective of ensuring coordination between the various national schemes which continue to exist. Thus, according to settled case-law, Member States retain the power to organise their own social security schemes (see, to that effect, inter alia, judgments of 21 February 2013, Salgado González, C‑282/11, EU:C:2013:86, paragraph 35, and of 7 December 2017, Zaniewicz-Dybeck, C‑189/16, EU:C:2017:946, paragraph 38).
