34That provision, although derogating from the general rule, laid down by Article 13(1) of Regulation No 1408/71, that a person is to be subject to the legislation of only one Member State, does not as such constitute an obstacle to the freedom of movement of workers or the right of establishment in so far as it does not result in double contributions in respect of one activity but provides for parallel contributions for persons pursuing simultaneously two different activities from which they derive two separate incomes. The Court has also held, in its judgment in Case 19/76 Triches [1976] ECR 1243, that Article 51 of the EC Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 42 EC) confers on the Council the freedom to choose any means which, viewed objectively, are justified, even if the provisions adopted do not result in the elimination of all possibility of inequality between workers arising by reason of disparities between the national schemes in question.
