Questions referred







1.


Is the term ‘re-use of information’ for the purposes of Article 2(11) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on open data and the re-use of public sector information ([OJ 2019] L 172, [p. 56]) (‘the Directive’) to be understood as meaning access to any information which a public sector body/public undertaking has produced or holds, and which a user (natural or legal person) requests from a public sector body for the first time?










2.


Can a request for information which a public sector body/public undertaking has produced or which it holds, and which was generated within the scope of its activities or in connection with its organisation and work, be regarded as a request for information to which the provisions of the Directive apply, that is to say, do the provisions of that directive apply to all requests for information held by public sector bodies?










3.


Are the entities obliged to provide information, listed in Article 2 of the Directive, only those public sector bodies to which requests for re-use of information are made, or do the new definitions concern all public sector bodies and all information held by those bodies, that is to say, are the entities listed in Article 2 of the Directive obliged to provide information they have produced or hold, or are the entities listed in Article 2 of the Directive considered to be obliged to provide information only where the information is re-used?










4.


Can the exceptions to the obligation to make information available under Article 1(2) of the Directive be regarded as exceptions by virtue of which public sector bodies may refuse to provide information produced or held by them, or are they exceptions which apply only where requests have been made to the public sector bodies for re-use of the information?

Questions referred







1.


Are Article 19 TEU and Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union to be interpreted as meaning that they preclude the provisions on the remuneration of judges in force in the Member State of the referring court, such as follow from the Gesetz zur weiteren Anpassung der Besoldung und Versorgung im Jahr 2023 sowie im Jahr 2024 (Law on the further adjustment of remuneration and pensions of civil servants in 2023 and 2024) of the Land Hesse (Drucksache20/9499 of the Landtag of Hesse), if, at the end of a period to be determined by the Court of Justice which begins on notification of the decision of the Court, the Land of Hesse has not adopted legislation on the remuneration of judges which complies with European standards?










2.


Are Article 19 TEU and Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, read in conjunction with Articles 2, 3 and 6 of Council Directive 2000/78/EC (2) of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation to be interpreted as meaning that they preclude that the remuneration of judges in Grade R 6 of the Bundesbesoldungsgesetz (Federal Law on remuneration of civil servants) in the Member State of the referring court be linked to the condition of having reached the age of 35, with the result that the judges of that Member State who have hitherto received a remuneration that is lower than that of Grade R 6 of the Federal Law on remuneration of civil servants, must be paid at the level of the amount laid down for Grade R 6 of the Federal Law on remuneration of civil servants, and that those judges of the Member State of the referring court, who, under national legislation, have applied for remuneration appropriate to their role for previous financial years or have brought an action against their inappropriate remuneration for the previous financial years, may claim the difference in remuneration compared to Grade R 6 of the Federal Law on remuneration of civil servants for the previous years in which they were active?
