12 The Court has held on several occasions that, whilst it may seem desirable from the point of view of applying Community regulations on social security to establish a clear distinction between legislative schemes that fall respectively within social security and assistance, the possibility cannot be excluded that by reason of the persons covered, its objectives and its methods of application, national legislation may, at one and the same time, have links to both those categories (see in particular the judgment of 24 February 1987 in Joined Cases 379 to 381/85 and 93/86 CRAM Rhône-Alpes v Giletti [1987] ECR 955, at paragraph 9).
12 Som Domstolen flere gange har fastslaaet i sin praksis, at selv om det af hensyn til anvendelsen af EF' s regler om social sikring er oenskeligt, at der sondres klart mellem de lovregler, som vedroerer social sikring, og dem, som vedroerer den offentlige sociale forsorg, maa det erkendes, at nationale lovregler paa grund af deres personelle anvendelsesomraade, formaal og naermere gennemfoerelsesbestemmelser kan vaere beslaegtet med begge de foernaevnte kategorier (jf. herom navnlig dommen af 24.2.1987 i de forenede sager 379/85, 380/85, 381/85 og 93/86, Giletti m.fl., Sml. s. 955, praemis 9).EurLex-2 EurLex-2
