58In the present case, just as in Aldewereld (EU:C:1994:271, paragraph 21), the only factors connecting the situation with the legislation of a Member State, or of a State treated as such, are the residence of the employee and the place where the employer is established. As the Court stated in paragraph 22 of Aldewereld, according to the scheme of Regulation No 1408/71, application of the legislation of the Member State in which the worker resides appears to be an ancillary rule which comes into play only where that legislation has a link with the employment relationship. Thus, when the worker does not reside in any of the Member States where he works, it is normally the legislation of the Member State where his employer has its registered office or place of business which applies.
