40It should be recalled, first, that while Article 73 of Regulation No 1408/71 provides that a worker subject to the legislation of a Member State is entitled, in respect of the members of his family who are residing in another Member State, to the family benefits provided for by the legislation of the former State as if they were residing in that State, that provision, albeit a general rule governing family benefits, is not in any event an absolute rule (see, to that effect, Case C‑16/09 Schwemmer EU:C:2010:605, paragraphs 41 and 42).
