Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
Articles 39 EC, 49 EC and 50 EC prohibit national legislation, such as the second sentence of Paragraph 421(g)(1) of Book III of the German Social Security Code, which provides that payment by a Member State to a private-sector recruitment agency of the fee due to that agency by a person seeking employment in respect of that person's recruitment is subject to the condition that the job found by that agency be subject to compulsory social security contributions in that State. |
|
2. |
It is for the national court to the full extent of its discretion under national law, to interpret and apply domestic law in accordance with the requirements of Community law and, to the extent that such an interpretation is not possible in relation to the EC Treaty provisions conferring rights on individuals which are enforceable by them and which the national courts must protect, to disapply any provision of domestic law which is contrary to those provisions |
