Abstract

The mobility of European patients has given rise to lawsuits for a many years. Already in 1957, European legislators were attempting to resolve its related problems, establishing the European Convention on Social Security, later replaced by Regulations n°3 et n°4. Still later, these Regulations were replaced by Regulation n°1408/71/EEC of June 14th, 1971, pertaining to the application of Social Security systems to employees, independent workers, and members of their families who circulate within the European Community. There is also an Implementation Regulation, n°574/72/EEC. Nonetheless, these texts soon needed modernization, so the Regulation n°883/2004/CE, on coordinating social security systems, and its Implementation Regulation, n°987/2009, followed by other legislation, have come to comprise the sources of positive law on this subject since May 1st, 2010.
