I move amendment No. 12a:

In page 13, to delete lines 32 to 34 and substitute the following:
"(b) the person is a worker or a self-employed person, residing in the State pursuant to article 7 of Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004, from—".

This amendment is required to clarify the category of persons who are not required to satisfied the habitual residence condition, HRC, due to or arising from their employment or self-employment in the State. This provision is in accordance with EU principles of free movement, which specify that the person must be a worker or self-employed person residing in the member state pursuant to Article 7 of Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004.
