62The Swedish and United Kingdom Governments submit that it is clear from the Court's case-law that Regulation No 1408/71 and thus the principle of equal treatment affirmed in Article 3(1) thereof do not apply to cases which have no factor linking them with Community law (see Case C-153/91 Petit [1992] ECR I-4973, paragraphs 8 to 10; Joined Cases C-64/96 and C-65/96 Uecker and Jacquet [1997] ECR I-3171, paragraphs 16 and 17; and Kulzer, paragraph 31). Accordingly, that principle is equally inapplicable to a stateless person or refugee in a situation where there is no such factor.
