58As regards, first, the argument put forward by Mr Savas in his written observations, the first point to be made is that this Court has consistently held that, as Community law stands at present, the provisions concerning the EEC-Turkey Association do not encroach upon the competence retained by the Member States to regulate both the entry into their territories of Turkish nationals and the conditions under which they may take up their first employment, but merely regulate the situation of Turkish workers already lawfully integrated into the labour force of Member States (see, in particular, Case C-171/95 Tetik v Land Berlin [1997] ECR I-329, paragraph 21).
