First, the national court notes that, according to the Court’s case-law, a citizen of the European Union lawfully resident in the territory of a Member State of which he is not a national can rely on Article 12 EC in all situations which fall within the scope of Community law. It refers in that regard to Case C‑85/96 Martínez Sala [1998] ECR I‑2691, paragraph 63; Case C-184/99 Grzelczyk [2001] ECR I-6193, paragraph 32; and Case C-209/03 Bidar [2005] ECR I-2119, paragraph 32. Accordingly, having exercised the right to the freedom of movement conferred on him by Article 18(1) EC, Mr Huber was entitled to rely on the prohibition of discrimination laid down by Article 12 EC.
