Regularisatie van studieperioden

15:47 Sep 4, 2012 

I can see the problem... Maybe "assimilation" would be a good term to use? After all, the idea of "regularisatie" is that periods of study are equalised with periods of work in (a) the determination if there is a right to a benefit and (b) the calculation itself.

Thanks, Steven, yes I realised this was the Flemish equivalent of the French, which is why I asked if anyone had any ideas for a more English sounding term. I had thought about "formalisation" or something along those lines. Unfortunately, regularisatie is spattered all over the text so it would look a bit clumsy to spell out every time!

In that case, I would use the descriptive translation (as there is no official English term for that): taking the periods of study into account when determining pension entitlements.

"Regularisatie" in this context is a typical administrative term, derived from French. I would avoid using it in an English text, in this context.

That is what the text is about : the Belgian system of having periods of study counted for the calculation of pension benefits.

Can you tell me whether these scientists are asking for the periods to be taken into account under Belgian legislation, or if they want to have them counted under the EU social security coordination rules?

Michael has the right idea by suggesting "accrual", but a more precise (descriptive) translation is possible - if I have a bit more context...

Basically I need to know whether these periods of study are situated in a EU-country or not. If so, we are going into EU-talk. If not, we need to look at the Belgian system of having periods of study counted for the calculation of pension benefits.

'Employers can hire foreign nationals who have applied for their stay in Belgium to be regularised between 15 September 2009 and 15 December 2009 and for which the Office des Etrangers (foreign nationals office) has made such regularisation dependent on the award of a type-B work permit.

foreign researchers who wish to work in Belgium will also have to deal with (the intricacies of) Belgian immigration law

see:

• 'Regularisatie (art.9bis)

Wie in België verblijft zonder (definitief) verblijfsrecht en buiten de gewone procedures om toch redenen heeft om een verblijfsvergunning te krijgen, kan "regularisatie" aanvragen.
Om een ontvankelijke aanvraag te kunnen indienen, moet hij dan wel ondermeer "buitengewone omstandigheden" aantonen (=waarom hij niet of heel moeilijk kan terugkeren naar het land van herkomst om de aanvraag daar in te dienen).' (http://www.kruispuntmi.be/vreemdelingenrecht/wegwijs.aspx?id... ) +

• 'Fiscale regularisatie

Sedert de Wet van 27 december 2005 bestaat in België een systeem van fiscale regularisatie. De regularisatieprocedure biedt de mogelijkheid - ook voor de belastingplichtige die beroepsmatig actief is - om op een discrete manier een niet aangegeven (buitenlands) vermogen te "regulariseren". Deze fiscale regularisatie gebeurt via een binnen de schoot van de belastingadministratie georganiseerd "Contactpunt regularisaties".'

we might be barking up the wrong tree. if this is a Flemish text, you might want to look into the French word 'régularisation', which can be translated into English as 'accrual' (http://iate.europa.eu/iatediff/SearchByQuery.do;jsessionid=9... ) and ...

'régulariser sa position' = 'to bring one's situation into line with the law' (IATE)

22:22 Sep 3, 2012 

It seems that 'regularisation' can be defined as 'a procedue or method for establishing a person's place of residence in the context of immigration law.'

22:13 Sep 3, 2012 

• 'A person may be considered to be in breach of the immigration laws if his or her presence contravenes a deportation order or if the person is an overstayer. In the latter case, the Immigration Appeal Tribunal has said that it is irrelevant, for right of abode purposes, that the person's stay was subsequently **regularised** by the grant of leave to remain (Cheong (4390), Lai (3087)).' (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/poli... )

'• Who needs to **regularise** their past situation?

The Tax Agreement applies to all natural persons who:

had a place of residence in Germany on 31 December 2010,
and were account holders and/or beneficial owners1 of an account or custody account with a Swiss paying agent2on 31 December 2010,
and are account holders and/or beneficial owners1of an account or custody account with a Swiss paying agent2on 01 January 2013.' (https://www.postfinance.ch/en/about/company/management/leade... )

Can we have a little more context? Is there any chance that asylum might be involved? Where are these foreign researchers from? ...

'Regularisation' seems to have quite specific meaning in international immigration and asylum policy, etc.

• 'Wij hebben het in 1992 ingevoerd als instrument om aan de politie te bewijzen dat de geïncrimineerde vreemdeling was gestabiliseerd en dat men hem daarom een bewijs van **regularisatie** van zijn verblijf kon afgeven.' = 'We introduced it in 1992 as a way of persuading the police that an accused foreigner was in a regular situation and could therefore be given a document to establish his place of residence.'
