15The Arbeidshof te Brussel (Brussels Higher Labour Court), to which the Rijksdienst appealed, harbours some doubts concerning the interpretation to be given to the relevant provisions of Regulation No 1408/71. In the light of the judgments in Case C-202/97 FTS [2000] ECR I-883 and Case C-178/97 Banks and Others [2000] ECR I-2005, the national court is uncertain as to the legal value to be accorded to an E 101 certificate, by the competent institution and the national courts of the host Member State of the workers concerned. Having regard to the Rijksdienst's submissions before the national court, according to which such certificates are merely a statement of the position as it stands or is supposed to stand at the time of the posting, the national court is unsure as to the circumstances in which the maintenance of a direct relationship, during the period of posting, between the worker and the undertaking which posted him can be scrutinised.
