THE COUNCIL OF 15 OCTOBER 1968 ( OFFICIAL JOURNAL , ENGLISH SPECIAL EDITION 1968 ( II ), P . 475 ).
19 IN THAT REGARD THE COMMISSION ARGUES THAT THE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS REFERRED TO BY THE COUR DU TRAVAIL CONSTITUTE A SOCIAL ADVANTAGE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SAID ARTICLE 7 ( 2 ) AND THAT THEY MUST THEREFORE BE GRANTED TO THE CHILDREN OF A WORKER WHO IS A NATIONAL OF A MEMBER STATE , WHATEVER THE NATIONALITY OF THOSE CHILDREN . MR DEAK , WHO HAS PRESENTED ONLY ORAL ARGUMENT IN THESE PROCEEDINGS , HAS MADE A SIMILAR SUBMISSION . THE OFFICE NATIONAL DE L ' EMPLOI HAS STATED THAT IT HAS NO SUBMISSION TO MAKE ON THIS POINT .
20 IT MUST BE OBSERVED THAT ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 7 ( 2 ) OF REGULATION NO 1612/68 A WORKER WHO IS A NATIONAL OF A MEMBER STATE IS ENTITLED , IN THE TERRITORY OF ANOTHER MEMBER STATE , TO THE ' SAME SOCIAL AND TAX ADVANTAGES AS NATIONAL WORKERS ' .
21 AS THE COURT HAS HELD ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS ( MOST RECENTLY , IN ITS JUDGMENT OF 27 MARCH 1985 IN CASE 249/83 HOECKX V OPENBAAR CENTRUM VOOR MAATSCHAPPELIJK WELZIJN ( 1985 ) ECR 973 ), THE TERM ' SOCIAL ADVANTAGE ' USED IN ARTICLE 7 ( 2 ) OF REGULATION NO 1612/68 REFERS TO ALL ADVANTAGES ' WHICH , WHETHER OR NOT LINKED TO A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT , ARE GENERALLY GRANTED TO NATIONAL WORKERS PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THEIR OBJECTIVE STATUS AS WORKERS OR BY VIRTUE OF THE MERE FACT OF THEIR RESIDENCE ON THE NATIONAL TERRITORY AND WHOSE EXTENSION TO WORKERS WHO ARE NATIONALS OF OTHER MEMBER STATES THEREFORE SEEMS LIKELY TO FACILITATE THE MOBILITY OF SUCH WORKERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ' .
22 AS IS CLEAR FROM THE JUDGMENTS OF THE COURT OF 30 SEPTEMBER 1975 IN CASE 32/75 ( CRISTINI V SNCF ( 1975 ) ECR 1085 ) AND 16 DECEMBER 1976 IN CASE 63/76 ( INZIRILLO V CAISSE D ' ALLOCATIONS FAMILIALES LYON ( 1976 ) ECR 2057 ), THE PRINCIPLE OF EQUAL TREATMENT LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 7 OF REGULATION NO 1612/68 IS ALSO INTENDED TO PREVENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST DESCENDANTS OF A WORKER WHO ARE DEPENDENT ON HIM .
23 A WORKER ANXIOUS TO ENSURE FOR HIS CHILDREN THE ENJOYMENT OF THE SOCIAL BENEFITS PROVIDED FOR BY THE LEGISLATION OF THE MEMBER STATES FOR THE SUPPORT OF YOUNG PERSONS SEEKING EMPLOYMENT WOULD BE INDUCED NOT TO REMAIN IN THE MEMBER STATE WHERE HE HAD ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AND FOUND EMPLOYMENT IF THAT STATE COULD REFUSE TO PAY THE BENEFITS IN QUESTION TO HIS CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THEIR FOREIGN NATIONALITY . AS WAS POINTED OUT IN THE JUDGMENT OF 16 DECEMBER 1976 REFERRED TO ABOVE , THAT RESULT WOULD RUN COUNTER TO THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR WORKERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY , BEARING IN MIND INTER ALIA THE RIGHT GRANTED UNDER THAT PRINCIPLE TO EMPLOYED PERSONS
