Article 15
The following paragraph shall be added to the Sole Article of Annex IV: "1a. During the period of entitlement to the allowance, and for the first six months thereafter, the official shall be entitled, in respect of himself and persons covered by his insurance, to benefits under the sickness insurance scheme provided for in Article 72 of the Staff Regulations, on condition that the official pays the appropriate contribution calculated by reference, as the case may be, either to his basic salary or to the percentage thereof specified in paragraph 1 of this Article and that he cannot be covered by any other public scheme against the same risks. At the end of the period referred to in the first subparagraph and on the conditions laid down therein, the official concerned may, at his request, continue to receive the benefits under the said sickness insurance scheme on condition that he bears the whole of the contribution referred to in Article 72 (1) of the Staff Regulations. When the official's entitlement to the allowance ceases, his contribution shall be calculated by reference to the monthly allowance last received. Where the official has started to draw a pension under the pension scheme provided for in the Staff Regulations, he shall, for the purposes of Article 72 of the Staff Regulations, be treated in the same way as an official who has remained in the service until the age of 60 years."
