Подтверждая также принцип, что граждане любой Договаривающейся Стороны должны получать пенсии по старости, инвалидности и потере кормильца на основе соответствующих соглашений, заключенных между двумя или более Договаривающимися Сторонами;
Желая осуществить эти принципы путем заключения временного соглашения в ожидании заключения конвенции общего характера, основанной на сети двусторонних соглашений,

3. В целях настоящего Соглашения термин "пенсия" включает любое увеличение пенсии или прибавку к ней.
4. Термины "граждане" и "территория" Договаривающейся Стороны имеют значение, приданное им этой Договаривающейся Стороной в заявлении, направленном Генеральному Секретарю Совета Европы для его передачи всем другим Договаривающимся сторонам.
Статья 2
1. В соответствии с положениями Статьи 9 гражданин любой Договаривающейся Стороны имеет право на получение пенсии согласно законам и правилам любой другой Договаривающейся Стороны на тех же условиях, на которых он имел бы такое право, если бы являлся гражданином последней, если:
a. в случае получения пенсий по инвалидности, выплачиваемых как из страховых взносов, так и не из страховых взносов, он обычно проживал на территории последней Договаривающейся Стороны до получения им первого медицинского заключения о болезни, ставшей причиной инвалидности;

c. в случае получения пенсий, выплачиваемых из страховых взносов, он проживает на территории любой Договаривающейся Стороны.
2. В любом случае, когда законы и правила любой Договаривающейся Стороны ограничивают права гражданина этой Стороны, который не родился на ее территории, гражданин любой другой Договаривающейся Стороны, который родился на территории последней, имеет те же права, которые он имел бы, если бы он являлся гражданином первой Договаривающейся Стороны, который родился на ее территории.

Если заявление о назначении пенсии в течение такого периода не подано, данная пенсия назначается или ее выплата восстанавливается с даты подачи заявления о назначении или более ранней даты, которая может быть установлена последней Договаривающейся Стороной.

to the "Spanish territory" or to Spain as mentioned in Article 8 of the
