Domstolen havde hertil bemærket, at de berørte medlemsstaters kompetente myndigheder ved beregningen af de alderspensioner, som en arbejdstager, der har været underkastet to eller flere medlemsstaters lovgivninger, har ret til, skal foretage en sammenligning af det beløb, som vedkommende har ret til alene i henhold til national lovgivning, herunder dens antikumulationsregler, med det beløb, der følger af anvendelsen af artikel 46 i forordning nr. 1408/71.
The Court pointed out that, when calculating the amount of the oldage benefits payable to a worker who had been subject to the legislation of two or more Member States, the competent institution in each Member State had to draw a comparison between the amount payable under the national legislation alone, Including any rules against overlapping, and the amount resulting from the application of Article 46 of Regulation No. 1408/71.
