Questions referred
1. |
Does Directive 2003/88/EC (1) apply where characteristics peculiar to certain specific public service activities, such as the armed forces or the police, or to certain specific activities in the civil service protection services inevitably conflict with it, given that: Article 1(3) of Directive 2003/88/EC provides that that directive is to apply to all sectors of activity, both public and private, within the meaning of Article 2 of Directive 89/391/EEC; (2) Article 2(2) of Directive 89/391/EEC provides that that directive is not to be applicable where characteristics peculiar to certain specific public service activities, such as the armed forces or the police, or to certain specific activities in the civil protection services inevitably conflict with it? |
2. |
When appraising the equivalence of the appropriate protection and prevention services or facilities within the meaning of Article 12(b) of Directive 2003/88/EC of a category of workers who perform night work and whose night working hours are not more than seven hours in any 24 hours by comparison with another category of workers who also perform night work and whose night working hours are not more than eight hours, but who have advantages such as longer leave, higher retirement allowances and higher additional remuneration for seniority, is it necessary to take the advantages which workers in the second category enjoy into consideration? |
