Question referred

Must Article 1(1) and Article 5(5) of Directive 2008/104/EC (1) of 19 November 2008 be interpreted as precluding national legislation such as the first paragraph of Article 31 of decreto legislativo n. 81 del 2015 (Legislative Decree No 81 of 2015), which – while providing for recruitment on a permanent basis by the temporary-work agency – allows a temporary agency worker to be assigned to the same user for an indefinite term, without any obligation to give reasons for the decision to terminate that assignment?

(1)  Directive 2008/104/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on temporary agency work (OJ 2008 L 327, p. 9).
