Article 1
7. Article 11 paragraph 3 of the Agreement shall be revised to read as follows:
“3. Where the periods of coverage completed by a person under the laws of:
(i)either Great Britain, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man amount to less than one reckonable year, or, as the case may be, qualifying year, or relate only to periods before 6 April 1975 and in aggregate amount to less than 50 weeks, or
(ii)Jersey amount to less than an annual contribution factor of 1.00, or
(iii)Guernsey amount to less than 50 weeks,
those periods shall be aggregated as if they had all been completed under the laws of any part of the territory of the United Kingdom under which a pension is payable or would be payable if the periods were aggregated, or, where two such pensions are or would be payable, under the laws of that part which, at the date on which entitlement first arose or arises, is paying or would pay the greater amount. Where the aggregate of the periods of coverage is less than one qualifying year or reckonable year, this Article and Article 9 shall not apply.”.
