How to extend the 365-day reference period under Art. 19(2) AIVV when the first day falls within a foreign stay
Decisione estratta
The period must be extended by the entire duration of the foreign stay, not only by the part falling within the 365-day period.
Motivazione estratta
A partial extension would defeat the purpose of allowing insured persons who spent time abroad to reach the required contributory days. The wording 'by the duration of this stay' permits extending the period by the whole foreign stay, including time before the reference date, and avoids unequal treatment.
