Question referred

Must Articles 114(3), 151 and 153 TFEU, read in conjunction with Framework Directive 89/391/EEC ( 1 ) and the subsequent specific directives, be interpreted as precluding a Member State from introducing time limits and procedures which deny people access to justice for the purposes of having their workplaces classified as characterised by special conditions, with the result that newly-hired workers’ rights to safety and health at work, deriving from the assessment of those conditions in accordance with national legislation, are not recognised?


( 1 ) Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (OJ 1989 L 183, p. 1).
