19Second, Article 128 of the EEC Treaty concerns vocational training, which includes university education (see Case 24/86 Blaizotand Others [1988] ECR 379, paragraphs 15 to 20; Case 242/87 Commission v Council [1989] ECR 1425, paragraph 25; Case C-147/03 Commission v Austria [2005] ECR I-5969, paragraph 33; and Case C-40/05 Lyyski [2007] ECR I-99, paragraph 29). To the extent that Article 126 of the EC Treaty was relied upon essentially because of the competence of the Member States for the content of teaching and the organisation of education systems and with reference to the objectives of Community policy within the education sector, it must be pointed out that, at the time of the facts in the main proceedings, the Member States were competent for educational organisation and policy, as is evident from the judgment in Case 293/83 Gravier [1985] ECR 593, paragraph 19, and that Community policy in the education sector already sought to facilitate the mobility of teachers.
