28Accordingly, apart from the fact that Directive 2000/78 expressly refers to self-employment, it also follows from the terms ‘employment’ and ‘occupation’, understood in their usual sense, that the EU legislature did not intend to limit the scope of Directive 2000/78 to posts occupied by a ‘worker’, within the meaning of Article 45 TFEU, who, according to settled case-law of the Court, is a person who, for a certain period of time, performs services for and under the direction of another person in return for which he or she receives remuneration (see, to that effect, judgment of 15 July 2021, Ministrstvo za obrambo, C‑742/19, EU:C:2021:597, paragraph 49 and the case-law cited).
