Must the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), approved by the Council of the European Union by Decision (EU) 2020/135 of 30 January 2020, (1) be interpreted as meaning that United Kingdom legislation transposing Article 19 of Directive 2006/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation (2) must be regarded as legislation of a Member State transposing a directive, by a court giving its ruling after the end of the transition period, where the facts are prior to that date and/or the proceedings were brought before that date?

2.

Must Article 288 TFEU be interpreted as meaning that a national court hearing a dispute between individuals, which is obliged to apply the law of another Member State, must interpret the provisions of that law in conformity with a directive, without this being precluded by the principle of mutual trust?

3.

If the national court considers that it is impossible to interpret those provisions in conformity with the directive, must it disapply that law, as it would do with its own national law, where a general principle of EU law or a provision of primary law, as given concrete expression in a directive, is at issue?
