Article 12, paragraph 4 (a) concerns equality of social security treatment between nationals of each of the Contracting Parties and those of the other Parties.
The maternity allowance payable under Article L 519 of the French Social Security Code is of such a nature as not to be covered by Article 12, paragraph 4 (a).
The allowance is not intended, as are family allowances, for the maintenance of children. It was introduced for essentially demographic reasons, for the specific purpose of encouraging the birth of French children in France, and hence has a specifically national and territorial character.
However, the national character of this allowance has been criticised in international bodies, which believe that it should be extended to all insured persons resident in French territory. The French Government has accordingly decided recently to investigate the possibility of complying with their wishes.
The French Government asks that formal note now be taken of its intention, pointing out that it will require some considerable time to complete the relevant investigations because of the procedure involved, which entails consulting not only the various ministerial departments concerned, but also family associations, employers' organisations and trade unions.
