32As for the first paragraph of Article 6 of the Treaty, which lays down the general principle of the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of nationality, it is settled case-law that it applies independently only to situations governed by Community law in respect of which the Treaty lays down no specific rule against discrimination (see, to this effect, Case C-18/93 Corsica Ferries [1994] ECR I-1783, paragraph 19, and Case C-336/96 Gilly v Directeur des Services Fiscaux du Bas-Rhin [1998] ECR I-2793, paragraph 37). That principle has been specifically applied, as regards employed persons, by Article 48 of the Treaty and, as regards the freedom to provide services, by Article 59 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 49 EC).
