51In order to provide the referring court with a complete answer, it should be observed that the Court has, it is true, already ruled that it is for the Member States to choose the measures likely to attain the objectives that they pursue in the field of employment. The Court has recognised that the Member States have a broad discretion in exercising that power. In addition, it cannot be disputed that encouragement of recruitment constitutes a legitimate aim of social policy (see ITC, paragraph 39 and the case-law cited).
