Operative part of the judgment
Article 6(1) of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation, read in the light of Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,
must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which lays down an upper age limit of 60 years for the first appointment to a position of lawyer commissioned as notary, provided that that legislation pursues a legitimate employment and labour market policy objective and that, in the relevant legislative context and in the light of all the situations to which it applies, that legislation is appropriate and necessary for the achievement of that objective.
