Abstract

EC Regulation 883/2004 on the Coordination of Social Security Systems contains special provisions regarding its application to personnel serving on board ships. This is also true of the Multilateral Ibero-American Agreement on Social Security. The criteria laid down to determine the law applicable to seafarers are different from those established for other workers. With certain exceptions, the system is based on application of the flag State’s legislation. The aim of the present paper is to highlight the possible problems that may arise as a consequence of this criterion, which is based on a legal fiction that requires an in-depth review given the increasingly frequent use of flags of convenience.
