15It should be noted that Ms Geven's status of migrant worker does not in any way prevent her from being able to claim the equal treatment prescribed by Article 7(2) of Regulation No 1612/68 in relation to the grant of social advantages. The Court has already held that frontier workers can rely on the provisions of Article 7 of Regulation No 1612/68 on the same basis as any other worker to whom that article applies. The fourth recital in the preamble to that regulation expressly states that the right of free movement must be enjoyed ‘without discrimination by permanent, seasonal and frontier workers and by those who pursue their activities for the purpose of providing services’, and Article 7 of the regulation refers, without reservation, to a ‘worker who is a national of a Member State’ (Meints, paragraph 50).
