24It must first be borne in mind that, according to established case-law, Community law does not preclude a Member State from requiring an undertaking established in another Member State which provides services in the territory of the first Member State to pay its workers the minimum remuneration laid down by the national rules ofthat State (Joined Cases 62/81 and 63/81 Seco and Desquenne & Girai [1982] ECR 223, paragraph 14; Case C-272/94 Gaiot [1996] ECR I-1905, paragraph 12; Joined Cases C-369/96 and C-376/96 Arblade and Others [1999] ECR I-8453, paragraph 33; Case C-165/98 Mazzoleni and ISA [2001] ECR I-2189, paragraphs 28 and 29; and Case C-164/99 Portugaia Construções [2002] ECR I-787, paragraph 21). The application of such rules must be appropriate for securing the attainment of the objective which they pursue, that is to say, the protection of posted workers, and must not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain that objective (see to that effect, inter alia, Arblade and Others, cited above, paragraph 35, Mazzoleni and ISA, cited above, paragraph 26, and Case C-60/03 Wolff & Müller [2004] ECR I-9553, paragraph 34).
