What the authority states and we cannot test
Quoted in the authority’s own words rather than summarised. No rule of ours tests these.

Our translation: Union citizens who are not economically active, and their family members accompanying or joining them, have the right under section 2 (1) if they have sufficient sickness insurance cover and sufficient means of subsistence. — Emigrator, machine-assisted and reviewed against the source
