Mr Sahin, Mr Abatay, and his colleagues maintain before the German courts that Turkish
international goods drivers remain exempted from the need for a German work permit in respect of trips between Turkey and Germany. They base that claim -- in the context of the EEC-Turkey Association Agreement of 1963 -- on Article 13 of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council and Article 41(1
) of the Additional Protocol of 1972, which contain standstill clauses prohibiting the creation of new restrictions concerning the access of Turkish worker
...[+++]s to employment and the freedom to provide services.
Ils appuient cette exigence - dans le cadre de l'accord d'association CEE-Turquie de 1963 - sur l'art. 13 de la décision nº 1/80 du Conseil d'association et l'art. 41, par. 1, du protocole additionnel de 1972, qui contiennent des clauses de standstill interdisant de créer de nouvelles restrictions respectivement en matière d'accès à l'emploi des travailleurs turcs et en matière de libre prestation de services.
