40In the second place, as regards the third condition laid down by the Court in the judgment in Vicoplus and Others (C‑307/09 to C‑309/09, EU:C:2011:64, paragraph 51), it must be stated, as the Advocate General noted in point 55 of her Opinion, that a distinction must be made between control and direction over the workers themselves and verification by a client that a service contract has been performed properly. It is normal for a client to verify in one way or another that the service delivered is in conformity with the contract. Moreover, in the contest of a supply of services, a client may give certain instructions to the service provider’s workers on how the service contract should be performed without entailing direction and control over the service provider’s workers within the meaning of the third condition laid down in the judgment in Vicoplus and Others, C‑307/09 to C‑309/09, EU:C:2011:64, paragraph 51, provided that the service provider gives them the precise and individual instructions he deems necessary for the performance of the services concerned.
