47While the legislation at issue in the present case applies both to Cypriot civil servants choosing to resign in order to work in the private sector in their Member State of origin and to those resigning and leaving that Member State in order to work in another Member State, within an EU institution or other international organisation, the fact remains that that legislation may restrict the freedom of movement of the latter category of civil servants preventing or deterring them from leaving their Member State of origin to take up employment in another Member State, within an EU institution or in another international organisation. Such legislation directly affects the access of Cypriot civil servants to the employment market in Member States other than the Republic of Cyprus and is thus capable of impeding freedom of movement for workers (see, to that effect, judgment in Bosman, C‑415/93, EU:C:1995:463, paragraphs 98 to 100 and 103).
