  Summary Has accepted Branches (a) to (i). The Government declared that the benefits provided under the Disablement Assistance Act for Handicapped Young Persons of 24 April 1997 and the Supplementary Benefits Act of 6 November 1986 are benefits of the type as referred to in Article 2, paragraph 6 (a) of the Convention. Statement: 1. With effect from 1 January 1998 the Government of the Netherlands considers benefits provided under the Disablement Assistance Act for Handicapped Young Persons (Wet Arbeidsongeschiktheidsvoorziening Jonggehandicapten) of 24 April 1997 to be benefits of the type as referred to in paragraph 6 (a) of Article 2 of the Equality of Treatment Convention ((Social Security), 1962 (ILO-Convention no. 118). 2. With effect from 1 January 2000 the Government of the Netherlands considers benefits provided under the Supplementary Benefits Act (Toeslagenwet) of 6 November 1986 to be benefits of the type as referred to in paragraph 6 (a) of Article 2 of the Equality of Treatment Convention ((Social Security), 1962 (ILO-Convention no. 118). Explanation: The Disablement Assistance Act for Handicapped Young Persons of 24 April 1997, which entered into force on 1 January 1998, provides for a monthly benefit in cash for people resident in the Netherlands, who are incapacitated for work when they reach the age of 17, or who have become disabled since that date and who were students for at least six months in the year immediately prior to that date. The grant of the benefit does not depend either on direct financial participation by the persons protected or their employer, or on a qualifying period of occupational activity. The Supplementary Benefits Act of 6 November 1986, which entered into force on 1 January 1987, provides for a supplement to a sickness-, invalidity- or unemployment benefit in case the income of the beneficiary falls below the minimum guaranteed income in the Netherlands. The grant of the supplement does not depend either on direct financial participation by the persons protected or their employer, or on a qualifying period of occupational activity. On the 1 January 2000 the Export Restrictions on Benefits Act of 27 May 1999 entered into force. This Act modifies the Supplementary Benefits Act. As of 1 January 2000, a person who does not reside in the Netherlands is no longer entitled to a supplement under the Supplementary Benefits Act. This export restriction is based on the fact that: 1. the supplement under the Supplementary Benefits Act is income tested, 2. the amount of the supplement is related to the minimum guaranteed income in the Netherlands, and 3. the supplement is financed from taxation. Non-contributory benefits, in the view of the Netherlands' Government, cannot be exported. The Export Restrictions on Benefits Act provided for a transitional period until 1 January 2003. As of that date no supplements under the Supplementary Benefits Act have in fact been paid. However, the Central Court of Appeal in Utrecht ruled that supplements should be exported under Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention no. 118. For this reason, the Netherlands' Government feels obliged to send this statement. To avoid that the Central Court of Appeal in Utrecht will give a similar ruling as regards the benefits under the Disablement Assistance Act for Handicapped Young Persons, this Act is also included in the statement of the Netherlands' Government.
