Judgment_paragraph 21 · Ghislain Leclere and Alina Deaconescu v Caisse nationale des prestations familiales (C-43/99)

21The applicants in the main proceedings and the Portuguese Government claim that the exceptions introduced by the provisions of Regulation No 1408/71 to the principle that residence clauses do not apply are not compatible with Articles 48 and 51 of the Treaty, since they do not take the special situation of frontier workers into consideration and thus give rise to discrimination against workers who have exercised their right to freedom of movement. They observe that the Court has already declared invalid or inapplicable, as giving rise to breaches of the principle of equal treatment, a number of articles of or annexes to Regulation No 1408/71 (see, for example, Case 41/84 Pinna [1986] ECR 1).
