Question juridique clé
Whether bonuses from the Portuguese special police regime count as contributory periods under the Swiss-Portuguese social security convention.
Solution extraite
No. The convention covers only the general Portuguese scheme and certain special regimes for workers such as seafarers and farmers, not the civil and military civil-service regime including police officers.
Motifs extraits
The Court reaffirmed its prior interpretation that the convention's special-regime clause does not extend to Portuguese civil-service social protection. The E 205 attestation could not broaden the convention's scope.
