Article 76

Where the medical examination made before a member of the temporary staff is engaged shows that he is suffering from sickness or invalidity, the AACC may, in so far as risks arising from such sickness or invalidity are concerned, decide to admit him to guaranteed benefits in respect of invalidity or death only after a period of five years from the date of his entering the service of the Agency.

The member of the temporary staff may appeal against that decision to the Invalidity Committee that shall be established by the Agency. Pursuant to an agreement between the Agency and the Council of the European Union, the Agency can make use of the Invalidity Committee of the Council.
