      Re:
   
   Request for a preliminary ruling — Cour administrative — Interpretation of Articles 21 TFEU and 45 TFEU — National legislation making reimbursement of social security contributions to private sector employers upon the hiring of unemployed persons aged over 45 years subject to the condition that the persons be registered with a placement office of the national employment administration for at least one month — Registration condition subject to a residence condition — Obstacle to the free movement of workers — Infringement of the principle of equal treatment
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   Article 45 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State which makes the grant to employers of a subsidy for the recruitment of unemployed persons aged over 45 years subject to the condition that the unemployed person recruited has been registered as a job seeker in that same Member State, in the case where such registration is subject to a condition of residence in the national territory, this being a matter for the referring court to verify.
