Quick Reference
Regulatory Framework
| Regulation | Full Name | Purpose |
|---|
| (EC) No 883/2004 | Basic Regulation | Coordination rules for social security |
| (EC) No 987/2009 | Implementing Regulation | Procedures and implementation details |
| EEA Agreement | Annex VI | Extends EU regulations to EEA countries |
| Separasjonsavtalen | Withdrawal/Separation Agreement (art. 29/30) | Keeps 883/2004 & 987/2009 in force for pre-2021 NO-UK cross-border situations |
| EØS/EFTA-UK-konvensjonen | EEA EFTA Convention (kodeverk KONV_EFTA_STORBRITANNIA_*, art. 13-18) | Post-Brexit basis for new NO-UK cases (in force from 01.01.2024). Note: Norway is NOT party to the EU-UK TCA. |
Core Principles
| Principle | Description | Implementation |
|---|
| Single Legislation | Person subject to ONE country's legislation only (Art. 11.1) | Lovvalgsperiode has single lovvalgsland |
| Lex Loci Laboris | Work location determines legislation (Art. 11.3.a) | Default for employed persons |
| Equal Treatment | No discrimination based on nationality (Art. 4) | Same rights as national citizens |
| Aggregation | Periods from all countries count (Art. 6) | For qualifying for benefits |
| Export of Benefits | Benefits paid regardless of residence (Art. 7) | No residence requirements |
Personal Scope (Art. 2)
The regulations apply to:
| Category | Description |
|---|
| Nationals | EU/EEA/Swiss nationals subject to member state legislation |

| Family Members | Covered for derived rights (healthcare, survivors) |
| Third-Country Nationals | At EU level (Reg. 1231/2010) when legally resident and moving within EU. NOT adopted by Norway — for Norwegian cases a plain TCN is generally outside the personkrets of 883/2004, and only covered via the Nordic Convention or the NL/LUX/AT bilateral agreements. |
Material Scope (Art. 3)
Benefits covered:
| Branch | Norwegian Coverage |

| EEA (NO, IS, LI) | EEA Agreement Annex VI | Full |
| Switzerland | EU-Switzerland Agreement (applies from 01.01.2016) | Full |
| UK | Separasjonsavtalen (pre-2021 cases) + EØS/EFTA-UK-konvensjonen (new cases) | Convention-based (NOT the EU-UK TCA — Norway is not a TCA party) |
Sakstype Handling
EU_EOS vs Other Types
| Sakstype | Regulation | Service | Key Difference |
|---|
EU_EOS | 883/2004 | EosVedtakService | EESSI integration, SEDs |
TRYGDEAVTALE | Bilateral agreements | TrygdeavtaleVedtakService | Country-specific articles |
FTRL | Folketrygdloven | FtrlVedtakService | National law, no EESSI |
EU_EOS Processing
if (behandling.type == Behandlingstyper.ÅRSAVREGNING) {
return årsavregningVedtakService
}
return when (behandling.fagsak.type) {
Sakstyper.EU_EOS -> eosVedtakService
Sakstyper.FTRL -> ftrlVedtakService
Sakstyper.TRYGDEAVTALE -> trygdeavtaleVedtakService
}
EU_EOS cases:
- Use 883/2004 articles (FO_883_2004_ART*)
- Integrate with EESSI via EUX
- Generate EU A1 certificates
- Exchange SEDs with other institutions
Title II - Applicable Legislation
The key articles for determining legislation:
| Article | Scenario | Result |
|---|
| Art. 11 | General rule - work in one country | Country of work |
| Art. 12 | Posted workers | Sending country (max 24 months) |
| Art. 13 | Multi-state work | Residence if substantial, else employer |
| Art. 14 | Voluntary insurance | Optional additions |
| Art. 15 | Contract agents | Choice of legislation |
| Art. 16 | Exceptions | Agreed exception |
For detailed article descriptions, see the lovvalg skill.
Implementing Regulation 987/2009
Key procedural articles:
| Article | Topic | Purpose |
|---|
| Art. 14 | Supplementary provisions for art. 12 AND art. 13 | Clarifying criteria (e.g. the 25% substantial-activity test is art. 14(8)) |
| Art. 15 | Procedure for applying art. 12 | Posting procedure |
| Art. 16 | Multi-state procedure | Art. 13 determination process |
| Art. 18 | Exception procedure | Art. 16 application process |
Art. 14.11 - Business Outside EEA
When employer has no registered office in EEA:
Kodeverk: FO_987_2009_ART14_11
Result: Employee's residence country determines legislation
EESSI Integration
Portable Documents and AC Decisions
Do not confuse the Portable Document with Administrative Commission (AC) Decisions:
| Item | Type | Relevance |
|---|
| PD A1 | Portable Document | The attestation of applicable legislation issued for posted/multi-state workers (the result of LA_BUC processing) |
| Decision A2 | AC Decision | Interpretation of the posting rules (art. 12) |
| Decision A3 | AC Decision | Aggregation of uninterrupted posting periods |
The PD A1 is the document NAV produces; AC Decisions are interpretive guidance from the Administrative Commission, not documents exchanged per case.
BUC Types by Article
| Article | BUC | Purpose |
|---|
| Art. 11 | LA_BUC_05 | Legislation notification |
| Art. 12 | LA_BUC_04 | Posted worker notification |
| Art. 13 | LA_BUC_02 | Multi-state decision |
| Art. 16 | LA_BUC_01 | Exception request |

Debugging Queries
Schema note: fagsak PK is saksnummer (string); the sakstype column is fagsak_type. behandling joins fagsak via the saksnummer FK column (there is no fagsak_id), and orders by registrert_dato. BUC/SED documents are NOT stored in the melosys-api database — they live in melosys-eessi.
Find EU_EOS Cases
SELECT f.saksnummer, f.gsak_saksnummer, b.id as behandling_id, b.status
FROM fagsak f
JOIN behandling b ON b.saksnummer = f.saksnummer
WHERE f.fagsak_type = 'EU_EOS'
ORDER BY b.registrert_dato DESC
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY;
Check Lovvalgsbestemmelse Used
SELECT lp.id, lp.lovvalg_bestemmelse, lp.fom_dato, lp.tom_dato, f.gsak_saksnummer
FROM lovvalg_periode lp
JOIN behandlingsresultat br ON lp.beh_resultat_id = br.behandling_id
JOIN behandling b ON br.behandling_id = b.id
JOIN fagsak f ON b.saksnummer = f.saksnummer
WHERE f.fagsak_type = 'EU_EOS'
AND lp.lovvalg_bestemmelse LIKE 'FO_883%'
ORDER BY b.registrert_dato DESC;
UK Post-Brexit
After Brexit, UK cases use:
| Period | Legal basis | Kodeverk |
|---|
| Pre-2021 cross-border situations | Separasjonsavtalen (art. 29/30) keeps 883/2004 & 987/2009 in force | FO_883_2004_* |
| New cases (EØS/EFTA-UK-konvensjonen, in force from 01.01.2024) | EEA EFTA Convention (art. 13-18) — NOT the EU-UK TCA, which Norway is not party to | Lovvalgbestemmelser_konv_efta_storbritannia |
