32The Court ruled, inter alia, that a rule which limits the number of professional players, nationals of the nonmember country in question, who might be fielded in national competitions did relate to working conditions within the meaning of the first indent of Article 38(1) of the Communities-Slovakia Association Agreement inasmuch as it directly affected participation in league and cup matches of a Slovak professional player who was already lawfully employed in the host Member State (Deutscher Handballbund, cited above, paragraphs 44 to 46).
