Questions referred
|
1. |
Can the scheme put in place by Article L. 12(b) of the French Civil and Military Retirement Pensions Code, as amended by Article 48 of the Law of 21 August 2003, and by Article R. 13 of that Code, as amended by Article 6 of the Decree of 26 December 2003, be regarded as giving rise to indirect discrimination, within the meaning of Article 157 of the Treaty on [the Functioning of the] European Union, against the biological parents of children, given the proportion of men liable to fulfil the condition relating to a break in their career for a continuous period of at least two months, in particular by reason of the absence of a statutory framework allowing them to fulfil that condition by taking paid leave? |
|
2. |
If the first question is answered in the affirmative, can the indirect discrimination thus established be justified by the terms of Article 6(3) of the Agreement annexed to Protocol No 14 on Social Policy [annexed to the Treaty on European Union]? |
|
3. |
If the second question is answered in the negative, do the provisions of Directive 79/7/EEC (1) preclude the maintenance in force of Articles L. 12(b) and R. 13 of the French Civil and Military Retirement Pensions Code? |
|
4. |
If the first question is answered in the affirmative and the second and third questions are answered in the negative, must any challenge to those articles be limited solely to the discrimination that they imply or does it relate to the impossibility for civil servants of both sexes to benefit from them? |
(1) Council Directive 79/7/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security (OJ 1979 L 6, p. 24).
