Article 11 Social security

Before the period of secondment begins, the employer shall certify to the Agency that, throughout the period of secondment, the SNE will remain subject to the social security legislation applicable to the national public administration or the organisation or entity, which employs the SNE. To that end, the relevant public administration shall supply the Agency with the attestation referred to in Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council^f1 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Portable document A1’). The organisation or entity shall supply the SNE with a certificate equivalent to the Portable document A1 and it shall prove that the social security legislation applicable provides for the defrayal of healthcare cost incurred abroad.

From the commencement of their secondment, the SNE shall be covered by the Agency against the risk of accident. The Agency shall provide the SNE with a copy of the terms of this cover on the day on which the SNE reports to the Chief Executive of the Agency to complete the administrative formalities related to the secondment.

When, in the context of a mission in which the SNE is participating under the terms of Articles 7(2) and 29 additional or specific insurance is required, the relevant costs shall be borne by the Agency, or by the national administration of origin in case of cost-free SNEs and NEPTs, after having consulted the concerned Member State with regard to the mission.
