Language of the case: German

Referring court

Arbeitsgericht Bonn

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Dr Andrea Raccanelli

Defendant: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.

Questions referred

1.

Should the applicant be regarded as a worker within the meaning of the European concept of ‘worker ’if he is not called upon to provide any more work-related services than are doctoral students with an employment contract concluded pursuant to the Bundesangestelltentarifvertrag (federal collective agreement for public sector workers, ‘BAT/2’)?

2.

In the event that the answer to Question 1 is in the negative: must Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 on freedom of movement for workers within the Community (1) be interpreted as meaning that there is no discrimination only if the applicant was at least granted the right to choose between an employment contract and a grant before his period of doctoral study with the defendant began?

3.

In the event that the answer to Question 2 is that the applicant should have been granted the opportunity to conclude an employment contract, the question must be asked:

What are the consequences in law in the event of discrimination against foreign nationals?
