40The applicant in the main proceedings submits that he ought to be regarded as a worker who has exercised his right of freedom of movement within the meaning of Community law. He relies in particular on Case C-18/95 Terhoeve [1999] ECR I-345, where the Court ruled that any Community national who exercises his right to freedom of movement for workers and who is employed in another Member State falls within the scope of Regulation No 1612/68, irrespective of his place of residence and his nationality. He states also that in Case C-57/96 Meints [1997] ECR I-6689 the Court ruled that the effect of Regulation No 1612/68 is that payment of a social advantage may not be made dependent on the condition that the recipient resides on the territory of the Member State which must provide the benefit to him.
