75In that connection, the Court cannot uphold the argument, relied on by the German Government inter alia, that Article 13 does not affect the right of the Member States to adopt, even after 1 December 1980, new restrictions on access to employment for Turkish nationals, but merely entails that they are not applicable to those Turkish nationals who are already lawfully employed and thereby have a right of residence in the host Member State when those restrictions are introduced. The German Government infers that interpretation from the wording ‘workers and members of their families legally resident and employed in their respective territories’ which appears in Article 13 of Decision No 1/80.
