50In the second place, as regards, by contrast, recognition of all the professional experience which, without being equivalent, is merely beneficial to the performance of the duties of postdoctoral senior lecturer, the principle of free movement of workers, established in Article 45 TFEU, does not require such recognition, since it is not necessary in order to ensure that Austrian workers and those who are nationals of other Member States are, for the purposes of their salary grading, subject to the same conditions. To consider that a worker whose entire equivalent professional experience acquired in the Member State of origin is already recognised for the purposes of his or her initial salary grading as a postdoctoral senior lecturer with the university of another Member State would be dissuaded from applying for that position if any other professional experience that he or she acquired in the Member State of origin was not recognised, appears to be based on a set of circumstances which are too uncertain and indirect to be regarded as constituting an obstacle to the free movement of workers.
