1.


Are the values of democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and justice, enshrined in Article 2 TEU, and the provisions of the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU, to be interpreted as conferring on the legislative and executive powers of the Member States the unrestricted and exclusive discretion to set, by means of national legislation, the remuneration of judges at a rate that depends solely on the will of the legislative and executive powers?










2.


Are the provisions of the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU, as well as those of Article 47 of the Charter [of Fundamental Rights of the European Union], which covers, inter alia, the independence of the judiciary, to be interpreted as permitting the Member States to introduce, by means of national legislation, rules which set the remuneration of judges below the remuneration or fees set by the State in respect of members of other legal professions?

Questions referred







1.


Do provisions of national law laying down conditions for obtaining a permanent residence permit in a Member State fall within the scope of the standstill clause in Article 13 of Decision No 1/80 of 19 September 1980 on the development of the Association, adopted by the Association Council established by the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey signed on 12 September 1963 at Ankara by the Republic of Turkey, of the one part, and the Member States of the EEC and the Community, of the other part, which was concluded, approved and confirmed on behalf of the Community by Council Decision 64/732/EEC (2) of 23 December 1963?










2.


If they do, can making the temporal conditions for obtaining a permanent residence permit for a Member State more onerous (that is to say, making the minimum requirements laid down as regards the length of a foreign national’s prior residence and employment in the Member State more onerous) be regarded as appropriate for facilitating the successful integration of third-country nationals?
