Clause 5(1) of the Framework Agreement on fixed-term work, concluded on 18 March 1999, set out in the annex to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the Framework Agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP, read in conjunction with Clause 4 of that agreement, Article 7 of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time, and Article 31(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,
must be interpreted as precluding national legislation, intended to penalise the misuse of successive fixed-term employment contracts, which makes the application, for serving honorary members of the judiciary, to participate in an assessment procedure in order to be confirmed up to the age of 70, subject to the requirement to waive the right to paid annual leave arising from EU law, relating to their previous honorary employment relationship.
