Artikel 11

1. Unless otherwise specified in this Convention, neither invalidity cash benefits, old-age or survivors’ cash benefits, pensions in respect of occupational injuries or diseases, nor death grants, payable under the legislation of one or more Contracting Parties, shall be liable to reduction, modification, suspension, suppression or forfeiture by reason of the fact that the beneficiary is resident in the territory of a Contracting Party other than that in which the institution liable for payment is situated.
2. However, nothwithstanding the provisions of Article 8, paragraphs 1 and 2, the invalidity, old-age or survivors’ benefits in Annex IV shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of sub-paragraph (a) or sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 3 of the said Article 8, as the case may be, if the beneficiary is resident in the territory of a Contracting Party other than that in which the institution liable for payment is situated.
3. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the present Article shall not apply to the following benefits, in so far as they are specified in Annex VI:
(a) special non-contributory benefits granted to invalids who are unable to earn a living;
(b) special non-contributory benefits granted to persons not entitled to normal benefits;
(c) benefits granted under transitional arrangements;
(d) special benefits granted as assistance or in case of need.
4. Each Contracting Party concerned shall give notice, in accordance with the provisions of Article 81, paragraph 1, of any amendment to be made to Annex VI. If such an amendment results from the adoption of new legislation, such notice shall be given within three months from the date of publication of that legislation or, in the case of legislation published before the date of ratification of this Convention, on the date of ratification.
5. Where the legislation of a Contracting Party makes the repayment of contributions conditional upon the person concerned having ceased to be subject to compulsory insurance, that condition shall not be regarded as fulfilled so long as that person is subject to compulsory insurance under the legislation of any other Contracting Party.
6. The Contracting Parties shall determine by means of bilateral or multilateral agreements, the conditions of payment of benefits referred to in paragraph 1 of the present Article due to persons enjoying rights under this Convention who are resident in the territory of a State which is not a Contracting Party.
