PREAMBLE, WAS ADOPTED IN PARTICULAR ON THE GROUND THAT 'THE RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, IN ORDER THAT IT MAY BE EXERCISED, BY OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, IN FREEDOM AND DIGNITY, REQUIRES ... THAT OBSTACLES TO THE MOBILITY OF WORKERS SHALL BE ELIMINATED, IN PARTICULAR AS REGARDS THE WORKER'S RIGHT TO BE JOINED BY HIS FAMILY AND THE CONDITIONS FOR THE INTEGRATION OF THAT FAMILY INTO THE HOST COUNTRY '.
5 IT FOLLOWS FROM THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT OF 3 JULY 1974 IN CASE 9/74, DONATO CASAGRANDE V LANDESHAUPTSTADT MUNCHEN ( 1974 ) ECR 773 THAT SUCH INTEGRATION PRESUPPOSES THAT, IN THE CASE OF THE CHILD OF A FOREIGN WORKER WHO WISHES TO BE ADMITTED TO AN EDUCATIONAL COURSE, THAT CHILD MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BENEFITS PROVIDED BY THE LAWS OF THE HOST COUNTRY RELATING TO EDUCATIONAL GRANTS, UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS NATIONALS WHO ARE IN A SIMILAR POSITION .
6 IN THAT CASE IT WAS THEREFORE RULED THAT 'ARTICLE 12 REFERS NOT ONLY TO RULES RELATING TO ADMISSION, BUT ALSO TO THE GENERAL MEASURES INTENDED TO FACILITATE EDUCATIONAL ATTENDANCE '.
7 THE PRESENT PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO A SIMILAR CASE HAVE DISCLOSED NO ISSUE OF FACT OR OF LAW OF SUCH A NATURE AS TO LEAD TO A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION OF THIS PROVISION .
8 IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO REPLY THAT ARTICLE 12 OF REGULATION NO 1612/68 MUST BE INTERPRETED AS ENSURING FOR THE CHILDREN REFERRED TO AN EQUAL POSITION WITH REGARD TO ALL THE RIGHTS ARISING FROM SUCH ADMISSION .
