Det er f.eks. i strid med forordningens ånd, at tyske arbejdsgivere for polske sæsonarbejdere skal overføre socialforsikringsbidrag på i alt 47,85 % (arbejdsgiveren 20,64%, arbejdstageren 27,27 %) til Polen under udfoldelse af stort bureaukrati, især da sæsonarbejdernes aktivitet før Polens tiltrædelse af EU i henhold til tysk lov ikke var underlagt socialforsikringen.
It is, then, to give one example, contrary to the spirit of the Regulation for German employers to be required to grapple with an intolerable amount of red tape in order to remit to Poland social security contributions totalling 47.85% (20.64% from the employer, 27.27% from the employee) of the earnings of Polish seasonal workers, particularly when, under German law, no such contributions were payable in respect of their work prior to the accession of Poland to the EU.
