Generaladvokat Mischo var af den opfattelse, at selv om ansøgeren havde været statsborger i et EF-land, kunne han ikke påberåbe sig artikel 10, stk. 1, i forordning nr. 1408/71 for at tvinge den nationale pensionsmyndighed til at udbetale pensionen på en konto hos et pengeinstitut i Zaire eller i Nigeria.
Advocate General Mischo took the view that even if the claimant had been a national of a Member State of the Community, he could not rely on Article 10(1) of Regulation No 1408/71 to compel a national pension authority to pay him his pension into an account with a financial establishment located in Zaire or Nigeria.
