29As regards, in the first place, the provisions of Regulation No 883/2004 which apply to such circumstances, the Court notes that Article 5 of that regulation lays down the principle of equal treatment. It follows from recital 9 of that regulation that the EU legislature sought to include in the regulation the principle, deriving from case-law, of equal treatment of benefits, income and facts, in order that that principle might be developed in keeping with the substance and spirit of the Court’s rulings (judgment of 21 January 2016, Vorarlberger Gebietskrankenkasse and Knauer, C‑453/14, EU:C:2016:37, paragraph 31).
