+Article 57 1.

Article 57 1.

Notwithstanding Article 52(1)(b), the institution of a Member State shall not be required to provide benefits in respect of periods completed under the legislation it applies which are taken into account when the risk materialises, if:

— 
the duration of the said periods is less than one year,
and
— 
taking only these periods into account no right to benefit is acquired under that legislation.

For the purposes of this Article, ‘periods’ shall mean all periods of insurance, employment, self-employment or residence which either qualify for, or directly increase, the benefit concerned.
