Operative part of the judgment

Article 4(1) of Council Directive 79/7/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security
must be interpreted as not precluding legislation of a Member State which provides that a permanent incapacity pension as a result of an accident at work is calculated on the basis of the salary actually received by the worker on the date of the accident, including a worker who benefited, on that date, from a measure for the reduction in working hours to care for a child, in a situation where the group of workers who benefit from such a measure are predominantly female.
