Questions referred
1.1 |
May a trade union acting in the interests of workers rely directly on Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union as an immediate source of rights against a service provider from another Member State in a situation in which the provision claimed to be contrary to Article 47 (Article 84 of the Polish Labour Code) is a purely national provision? |
1.2 |
Does it follow from European Union law, in particular the principle of effective legal protection apparent from Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Articles 5, second paragraph, and 6 of Directive 96/71/EC, (1) interpreted in conjunction with the freedom of association in trade union matters protected by Article 12 of the Charter, in proceedings concerning claims which have become due for the purposes of that directive in the State in which the work is performed, that the national court must disapply a provision of the labour code of the workers’ home State which prevents the assignment of a pay claim to a trade union of the State in which the work is performed, if the corresponding provision of the State in which the work is performed permits the assignment of a pay claim which has become due and hence the status of claimant to a trade union of which all the workers who have assigned their claims are members? |
1.3 |
Must the terms of Protocol No 30 annexed to the Treaty of Lisbon be interpreted as meaning that a national court situated in a country other than Poland or the United Kingdom must take them into account in the event that the dispute in question has a significant link with Poland, in particular where the law applicable to the contracts of employment is Polish law? In other words, does the Polish-British Protocol preclude the Finnish court from determining that the Polish laws, regulations or administrative provisions, practices or measures are contrary to the fundamental rights, freedoms and principles proclaimed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union? |
1.4 |
Must Article 14(2) of the Rome I Regulation be interpreted, having regard to Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, as prohibiting the application of national legislation of a Member State which contains a prohibition of the assignment of claims and demands arising from an employment relationship? |
1.5 |
Must Article 14(2) of the Rome I Regulation be interpreted as meaning that the law applicable to the assignment of claims arising from a contract of employment is the law which applies to the contract of employment in question under the Rome I Regulation, regardless of whether the provisions of another law also affect the content of the individual claim? |
1.6. |
Is Article 3 of Directive 96/71, read in the light of Articles 56 and 57 TFEU, to be interpreted as meaning that the concept of minimum rates of pay covers basic hourly pay according to pay groups, job guarantee pay, holiday allowance, flat-rate daily allowance and compensation for daily travel-to-work time, as those terms of work are defined in a collective agreement declared universally applicable and falling within the scope of the annex to the directive?
