Judgment_paragraph 25 · P. H. Asscher v Staatssecretaris van Financiën (C-107/94)

25It is settled law that any person who pursues an activity which is effective and genuine, to the exclusion of activities on such a small scale as to be regarded as purely marginal and ancillary, is to be treated as a ‘worker’ within the meaning of Article 48 of the Treaty. According to the case-law, the essential characteristic of the employment relationship is that for a certain period of time a person performs services for and under the direction of another person in return for which he receives remuneration (Case 66/85 Lawrie-Blum ν Land Baden-Württemberg [1986] ECR 2121, paragraph 17).
