  "text": "DRAFT\nDECISION No …/… OF THE EU-ALBANIA STABILISATION AND ASSOCIATION COUNCIL\nof …\nwith regard to the adoption of provisions on the coordination of social security systems\nTHE STABILISATION AND ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,\nHaving regard to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Albania, of the other part, and in particular Article 48 thereof,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nArticle 48 of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Albania, of the other part (the ‘Agreement’), provides for the coordination of the social security systems of Albania and the Member States and lays down the principles for such coordination.\n(2)\nArticle 48 of the Agreement provides that the Stabilisation and Association Council is to adopt a Decision for the purposes of implementing the principles set out in that Article.\n(3)\nWith regard to the application of the non-discrimination principle, this Decision should not give any additional rights arising from certain facts or events occurring on the territory of the other Contracting Party, where such facts or events are not taken into account under the legislation of the first Contracting Party, other than the right to export certain benefits.\n(4)\nIn applying this Decision, the right of Albanian workers to family benefits should be subject to the condition that their family members legally reside with them in the Member State where they are employed. Where their family members legally reside in another Member State, Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 extending Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 to nationals of third countries who are not already covered by these Regulations solely on the ground of their nationality applies. This Decision should not give any entitlement to family benefits with respect to the family members of a worker who reside in a country other than a Member State, for instance Albania.\n(5)\nRegulation (EU) No 1231/2010 extends the application of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems and of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems to nationals of third countries who are not already covered by those provisions solely on the grounds of their nationality. Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010 already covers the principle of aggregation of insurance periods acquired by Albanian workers in the various Member States regarding entitlement to certain benefits, as set out in the first indent of Article 48(1) of the Agreement.\n(6)\nIt may be necessary to lay down special provisions which correspond to the specific characteristics of the legislation of Albania, in order to facilitate the application of the coordination rules.\n(7)\nIn order to ensure the smooth functioning of the coordination of the social security systems of the Member States and of Albania, it is necessary to provide for specific provisions regarding cooperation between the Member States and Albania, as well as between the person concerned and the institution of the competent State.\n(8)\nTransitional provisions should be adopted in order to protect the persons covered by this Decision and to ensure that they do not lose any rights as a result of its entry into force,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:\nDone at …, …\nFor the Stabilisation and Association Council\nThe President",
