| Description | Although the form and content of the social security provisions belong to the competences of an individual Member State, the coordination of the national systems is one of the crucial fields of European cooperation, as it is closely associated to the free movement principles. The most important act in this respect is Regulation 1408/71 (now repealed by Regulation 883/2004) and the subsequent modifications and related acts, which are basically aimed to guarantee equal treatment and non discrimination. The contribution deals with interpretation problems of the Regulation in different Member States, especially presents some of the complicated cases with a special focus on the well-known czech case - Landtová - which has led in a request for preliminary ruling.
