“The first sub-paragraph of article 6(1) of the EEC-Turkey Association Council Decision 3/80 of 19 September 1980 on the application of the social security schemes of the member states of the European Communities to Turkish workers and members of their families (OJ 1983 C 110, p 60), which provided for the export of certain specified benefits, was directly effective. That provision precluded national legislation which withdrew the award of a benefit, such as the supplement to invalidity benefit, from former Turkish migrant workers when they had returned to Turkey after losing their right to remain in the host member state after becoming incapacitated in the that member state.”
