      Question referred
   
   Do Articles 20 and 21 TFEU preclude a rule of national law according to which a German national who has her permanent residence in Germany and attends an educational establishment in a Member State of the European Union is refused a study grant under the Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz (BAföG) in respect of her attendance at that foreign educational establishment because the educational course attended abroad is of only one year’s duration, whereas she could have received a study grant under the BAföG for comparable studies in Germany, which would also have lasted for one year?
