Questão jurídica principal
Whether the AHV pension for June to December 2006 could lawfully be paid in euros instead of Swiss francs
Decisão extraída
The switch to euro payments was justified only from 2007; for June to December 2006 it lacked sufficient grounds.
Fundamentação extraída
Although direct payment to Slovenia in the resident state's currency was generally permissible, the practice change was premature because Slovenia adopted the euro only on 1 January 2007 and the transition period did not justify an earlier switch.
