Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunale ordinario di Torino — Interpretation of Articles 5, 17 and 18 of Council Directive 93/104/CE of 23 November 1993 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time (JO 1993 L 307, p. 18) — Derogations relating to deferred weekly rest periods and compensatory rest — Applicability to members of the municipal police force
Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
Article 17(3) of Council Directive 93/104/EC of 23 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organization of working time, in both its original version and in the version amended by Directive 2000/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 2000, is independent in scope in relation to Article 17(2) thereof, so that the fact that a profession is not listed in Article 17(2) does not mean that it may not be covered by the derogation provided for in Article 17(3) in either of those versions of Directive 93/104. |
|
2. |
In circumstances such as those in the main proceedings, the optional derogations provided for in Article 17 of Directive 93/104 and Directive 93/104 as amended by Directive 2000/34 and, where relevant, Articles 17 and/or 18 of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organization of working time, cannot be relied on against individuals such as the applicants in the main proceedings. Moreover, those provisions cannot be interpreted as permitting or precluding the application of collective agreements such as those at issue in the main proceedings, since whether such agreements apply is a matter for domestic law. |
