Abstract

In the period covered there have been a number of interesting decisions of both the Court of Justice and the Court of Human Rights concerning social security issues. The Court of Human Rights addressed issues of gender and nationality discrimination in the Weller and Andrejeva cases, while the Court of Justice addressed further issues concerning cross-border health care and competition as it affects the organisation of social security. In Part 2, the current Commission proposal to extend protection against discrimination on the basis of religion or belief, disability, age, or sexual orientation to social protection is examined and an update on the status of Regulation 883 2004 provided.
