17The Court has consistently held in this regard (see Case C-103/94 Krid v CNAVTS [1995] ECR I-719, paragraphs 21 to 23, and, by analogy, Kziber, cited above, paragraphs 15 to 22, Case C-58/93 Yousfi v Belgian State [1994] ECR I-1353, paragraphs 16 to 18, and Case C-126/95 Hallouzi-Choho v Bestuur van de Sociale Verzekeringsbank [1996] ECR I-4807, paragraph 19, dealing with Article 41(1) of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, signed in Rabat on 27 April 1976 and concluded on behalf of the Community by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2211/78 of 26 September 1978 (OJ 1978 L 264, p. 1), a provision drafted in the same terms as Article 39(1) of the EEC-Algeria Cooperation Agreement) that Article 39(1) of the Agreement, which lays down in clear, precise and unconditional terms a prohibition of discrimination, based on nationality, against workers of Algerian nationality and the members of their families living with them in the field of social security, contains a clear and precise obligation which is not subject, in its implementation or effects, to the adoption of any subsequent measure in respect of any question other than the matters mentioned in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of that article. In those judgments, the Court added that the object of the Agreement, which is to promote overall cooperation between the Contracting Parties, in particular in the field of labour, confirms that the principle of non-discrimination enshrined in Article 39(1) is capable of governing directly the legal position of individuals.
