Question referred

Is Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the provision of air navigation services in the single European sky (‘the service provision Regulation’), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1070/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 amending Regulations (EC) No 549/2004, (EC) No 550/2004, (EC) No 551/2004 and (EC) No 552/2004 in order to improve the performance and sustainability of the European aviation system (‘Regulation (EC) No 1070/2009’), read in conjunction with Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (‘the framework Regulation’), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1070/2009, to be interpreted as meaning that the provision of air navigation services is also intended to protect every user of air space against purely financial damage resulting from unlawful and culpable negligence on the part of the air navigation service provider responsible for air navigation services?

Questions referred







1.


First. Is the case-law which, defending the principles of equality, merit, ability and non-discrimination in the free movement of workers, refuses to confer the status of permanent workers in the public sector on workers who have non-permanent contracts of indefinite duration contrary to Clause 5 of the Framework Agreement? (2)











2.


Secondarily. If the answer to the above question is in the affirmative: May entitlement on the part of workers who have non-permanent contracts of indefinite duration to dissuasive compensation when their employment relationship is terminated be regarded as an adequate measure to prevent and, where appropriate, penalise abuses resulting from the use of successive temporary contracts in the public sector, in accordance with Clause 5 of the Framework Agreement?
