62It must be stated that, since, as follows from paragraph 55 of the present judgment, Article 44 of Regulation No 987/2009 does not govern exclusively the taking into account of child-raising periods abroad and, as is apparent from paragraph 51 of the present judgment, the objective of ensuring observance of the principle of freedom of movement, as enshrined in Article 21 TFEU, also prevails in the context of Regulations No 883/2004 and No 987/2009, the lessons from the judgment of 19 July 2012, Reichel-Albert (C‑522/10, EU:C:2012:475), are applicable to a situation such as that at issue in the main proceedings, in which Regulation No 987/2009 is applicable rationae temporis, but where the person concerned does not fulfil the condition of pursuing an activity as an employed or self-employed person imposed by Article 44(2) of that regulation in order, for the purpose of granting an old-age pension, to have taken into account, by the Member State responsible for payment of that pension, other child-raising periods which that person has completed in other Member States.
