In a new case referred by the Supreme Administrative Court of Austria (Verwaltungsgerichtshof) 🇦🇹, it is seeking assistance of the to the Court of Justice of the European Union 🇪🇺 with interpreting the social security coordination legislation (Regulation 883/2004 and Regulation 987/2009) in Case C-329/23, Sozialversicherungsanstalt.
In essence, it want to know which social security system a self-employed doctor falls into where the person is a dual citizen (an EU citizen through Austrian citizenship, and a national of an EFTA-EEA state through Liechtenstein citizenship); and works on a self-employed basis in an EU Member State (Austria 🇦🇹), an EFTA-EEA state (Liechtenstein 🇱🇮), and an EFTA state (Switzerland 🇨🇭), and derives income from all those three places.
The case raises questions about EU social security law (secondary law), EU external relations law 🇪🇺 (EU-EEA dynamics, and EU-Swiss dynamics), and bilateral and multilateral relations of three states (Austrian-Liechtenstein-Swiss cooperation).
