The Court of Justice confirms its jurisprudence according to which the Member State to which the pension is payable and in which the beneficiary worked and contributed exclusively, both before and after the transfer of her residence to another Member State in which she dedicated herself to the education of her children, must take into account these periods of education of the children.

By its ruling, the Court of Justice rules out that this provision has an exclusive character with regard to the calculation of the periods of education of children completed by the same person in different Member States and confirms that such periods must be taken into account, in the present case, under Article 21 TFEU.

NOTE: The preliminary ruling allows the courts of the Member States, in the context of a dispute before them, to question the Court of Justice about the interpretation of Union law or the validity of a Union act. The Court of Justice does not resolve the national dispute, and it is the national court that must resolve the dispute in accordance with the decision of the Court of Justice. This decision is also binding on other national courts that hear a similar problem.
