Traduction de «caisse d'assurance vieillesse des agriculteurs » (Français → Anglais) :

23. Calls for the current withdrawals system to supplement a 'safety fund', managed by the producer organisations and financed by the European Union, Member States and farmers; this fund should be used to compensate producers for the withdrawals made in the event of crises, make payments for the reduction of production and the establishment - on a voluntary basis for farmers - of an income and adverse weather insurance scheme, subject to a feasibility study; proposes that producers not belonging to a producer organisation should be ...[+++]able to contribute to this safety fund, but should receive lower levels of payment in times of crisis provided that the individual producer participates in the measures and rules adopted by the producer organisation for crisis management; considers that this fund should be financed separately from the operational fund and that collective insurance should be eligible for funding under this scheme;

In Germany since 1995 it has been compulsory for farmers' wives to take out old age insurance, whether or not they work on the farm.

11. Periods of insurance completed under the legislation of another Member State, under a special old-age insurance scheme for farmers or, if no such scheme exists, as farmers under the general scheme, shall be taken into account to satisfy the conditions of minimum length of insurance required for the person to be subject to contribution within the meaning of Article 27 of the law on old-age insurance for farmers (Gesetz über die Altershilfe der Landwirte - GAL), always providing that: (a) the declaration on which the obligation to pay contributions is based shall have been lodged within the prescribed time ; and

(b) before lodging the declaration, the person concerned shall have been last subject to contribution under the old-age insurance scheme for farmers in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.

This provision shall not apply to old-age insurance for farmers of the Federal Republic of Germany or to corresponding special schemes in the other Member States.
