Opinion of Mr Advocate General Warner delivered on 22 May 1980. # Fonds national de retraite des ouvriers mineurs (FNROM) v Yvon Salmon. # Reference for a preliminary ruling: Tribunal de première instance de Liège - Belgium. # Social security - Invalidity benefits. # Case 1/80.

DELIVERED ON 22 MAY 1980

My Lords,

I am so entirely in agreement with what the Commission has said that no purpose would be served in my asking the Court for time to reflect.

I propose that the Court reply to the question referred to it by simply saying that Article 28 (4) of Regulation No 3 is incompatible with Article 51 of the Treaty and is consequently invalid.
