    Operative part of the judgment

    1.

    Article 2(1) and (2) of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000, establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation, must be interpreted as not applying to national legislation which — as interpreted in binding national case-law — leads to a situation in which the remuneration of certain judges appointed after that legislation entered into force is lower than that of judges appointed before that legislation entered into force, where there is no resulting direct or indirect discrimination on grounds of age.

    2.

    Directive 2000/78 must be interpreted as precluding discrimination only where it is based on one of the criteria referred to expressly in Article 1 of that directive.
