   References for a preliminary ruling — Raad van State — Interpretation of Article 7 of Decision No 1/80 on the development of the Association, adopted by the Association Council set up by the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey — Right of residence for members of the family of a Turkish worker duly registered as belonging to the labour force of a Member State — Members of the family of a Turkish worker who has been naturalised but has retained Turkish nationality — Date of naturalisation
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   Article 7 of Decision No 1/80 of 19 September 1980 on the development of the Association adopted by the Association Council set up by the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, must be interpreted as meaning that the members of the family of a Turkish worker duly registered as belonging to the labour force of a Member State can still invoke that provision once that worker has acquired the nationality of the host Member State while retaining his Turkish nationality.
