Article 13. The transitory provisions under Swedish legislation regarding the calculation of a basic pension for persons born [in] 1929 or earlier are not affected by article 11 of this Convention, nor are the provisions regarding Swedish nationals' entitlement to a basic pension while residing outside of Sweden affected by article 4 of this Convention.

Article 14. 1. Where periods of insurance have been completed both under the Swedish supplementary pensions scheme and under the legislation of Israel, these periods shall, when necessary, be added together for the acquisition of a right to a supplementary pension in so far as they do not coincide.

2. When computing the amount of a supplementary pension only periods of insurance covered by Swedish legislation will be taken into account.

3. The transitory provisions under Swedish legislation concerning the calculation of supplementary pension for persons born 1923 or earlier are not affected by this Convention.

Article 15. 1. Where a national of one of the Contracting Parties or a person designated in article 3 (b)-(d) of this Convention has been insured in Israel for at least twelve consecutive months but does not have sufficient Israeli periods of insurance for entitlement to an old-age or survivor's pension, periods of insurance completed under the legislation of Sweden shall be taken into account as far as they do not coincide with Israeli periods of insurance. No account shall be taken of any insurance period completed under the legislation of Sweden before 1 April 1954.

2. If the beneficiary or his survivor qualifies for the benefit when periods of insurance completed under the legislation of both Contracting Parties are added together, the Israeli competent insurance institution shall determine the benefit as follows:

(a) The Israeli benefit which is payable to a person who has completed the qualifying periods of insurance according to Israeli legislation shall be taken into account as a theoretical sum.

(b) On the basis of the above theoretical sum, the insurance institution shall calculate the partial benefit payable according to the ratio between the length of Israeli periods of insurance which the person has completed under the legislation of Israel and the total of all insurance periods completed by him under the legislation of both Contracting Parties.

3. The right to an old-age pension shall be conditional on the beneficiary having been a resident of Israel or Sweden immediately before attaining the age entitling him to an old-age pension.

4. The right to a survivor's pension shall be conditional on the beneficiary and the deceased having been residents of Israel or of Sweden at the time of the death, or the deceased having received an old-age pension immediately before his death.

5. Vocational training and subsistence allowance for widows and orphans are payable to persons designated in paragraph 1 only if they reside in Israel and for as long as they are actually present in Israel.
