ECJ Point 4(a) of the section on the Netherlands contained in Annex V of Regulation No 1408/71 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community, in the version applicable as from 1 February 1982, is to be interpreted as meaning that periods of paid employment include periods in which a person worked as a teacher under a contract of employment concluded with a private educational establishment, even if that person was insured during that period under a special scheme for civil servants and persons treated as such excluded from the scope of the regulation. If the period of paid employment subject in that way to that special scheme was not treated as a period of insurance for the purposes of Annex V to the regulation, the person completing it would thereby suffer a disadvantage contrary to Article 51 of the Treaty, whereas to take that period into account does not entail any overlapping of different entitlements.
