Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant could rely on Article 48(3) of Regulation 1408/71 to obtain Swiss disability benefits
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Article 48(3) did not apply because the appellant had worked and contributed in Italy for more than one year, so he was not in the exceptional situation covered by that provision.
Extrahierte Begründung
Article 48(3) only applies if, after aggregation, no Member State remains liable because the person has not been insured for at least one year in any relevant state. Here, the Italian contribution period exceeded one year.
