FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR PERSONS - WORKER - CONCEPT - BROAD INTERPRETATION - PURSUIT OF EFFECTIVE AND GENUINE ACTIVITIES AS AN EMPLOYED PERSON - CLAIM FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PAYABLE OUT OF PUBLIC FUNDS - IRRELEVANT

( EEC TREATY , ART . 48 )

Summary

THE TERMS ' WORKER ' AND ' ACTIVITY AS AN EMPLOYED PERSON ' DEFINE THE SPHERE OF APPLICATION OF ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS GUARANTEED BY THE TREATY AND FOR THAT REASON MUST BE GIVEN A BROAD INTERPRETATION ; EXCEPTIONS TO AND DEROGATIONS FROM THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR WORKERS , ON THE OTHER HAND , MUST BE INTERPRETED STRICTLY .

ACCORDINGLY , WHERE A NATIONAL OF A MEMBER STATE PURSUES AS AN EMPLOYED PERSON WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF ANOTHER MEMBER STATE ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY IN THEMSELVES BE REGARDED AS EFFECTIVE AND GENUINE WORK , THE FACT THAT HE CLAIMS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PAYABLE OUT OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS OF THE LATTER MEMBER STATE IN ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT THE INCOME HE RECEIVES FROM THOSE ACTIVITIES DOES NOT EXCLUDE HIM FROM THE PROVISIONS OF COMMUNITY LAW RELATING TO FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR WORKERS .
