Transition Provisions. 1. This Agreement shall not establish any entitlement for payment of a benefit for a period before its entry into force. 2. Any period of coverage completed under the legislation of a Contracting State before the entry into force of this Agreement, shall also be taken into consideration for the determination of rights acquired under this Agreement. 3. Subject to paragraph 1 of this Article, this Agreement shall also apply to contingencies which are relevant to an entitlement which occurred before its entry into force, insofar as previously determined entitlements have not given rise to lump-sum payments. 4. The amount of a benefit due only by virtue of this Agreement shall be determined from the date of entry into force of this Agreement at the request of the beneficiary. Where the claim is submitted within two years from the entry into force of this Agreement, the benefit shall be paid from that date; otherwise the benefit shall be paid from the date determined under the legislation of each Contracting State. 5. Benefits determined before the entry into force of this Agreement shall not be reviewed. 6. In applying paragraph 1 of Article 7, in case of persons who were sent to a Contracting State prior to the date of entry into force of this Agreement, the periods of employment referred to in that Article shall be considered to begin on the date of entry into force of this Agreement.
