Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to vocational retraining under invalidity insurance.
Extracted holding
No entitlement existed because the health impairment did not reduce earning capacity to the level required for retraining and the statistical comparison did not show sufficient invalidity.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that, even assuming prior economically relevant earnings abroad, the appellant could still perform a full-time adapted light job. Using statistical wages, the invalid income loss did not reach the threshold for invalidity under Art. 17 IVG; the existing 15% deduction already sufficiently reflected any handicap-related disadvantage.
