      Defendant: Land Berlin
   
      Re:
   
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Oberverwaltungsgericht Berlin-Brandenburg — Interpretation of the second paragraph of Article 7 of Decision No 1/80 of the EEC-Turkey Association Council — Turkish national born in the host Member State who, having returned with her parents to her country of origin, returns on her own, more than ten years later, to the host Member State in which her parents used to be regularly employed for more than three years, in order to start a vocational training course — Right of access to the labour market and corresponding right of residence in the host Member State for that Turkish national following the completion of a vocational training course
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   The second paragraph of 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, in the case where a Turkish worker has previously been legally employed in the host Member State for more than three years, the child of such a worker may rely in that Member State, after completing her vocational training course there, on the right of access to the employment market and the corresponding right of residence, even though, after travelling back with her parents to their State of origin, she returned on her own to that Member State in order to start that training course there.
