14They observe, as regards the alleged restriction of freedom of movement for workers arising from the application of that case-law in circumstances such as those of the case before the national court, that Mrs Ruhr's spouse, who is of German nationality, lives in Germany and has specifically not exercised his right of freedom of movement. The United Kingdom Government states that the case before the national court has no factors linking it to any of the situations governed by Community law (see, inter alia, Joined Cases C-64/96 and C-65/96 Meeker and jacquet [1997] ECR I-3171, paragraphs 16 and 17). Furthermore, there is no suggestion in the order for reference that the fact that Article 71 of Regulation No 1408/71 did not apply to Mrs Ruhr had any effect on her husband's decision as to whether to remain in his post in Germany.
