         Question referred
      
      Does the fact that an individual is an established (career) civil servant and, as such, belongs to one of the staff groups into which the public teaching service is organised constitute an objective ground sufficient to justify the individual ‘continuing-professional-education’ component of the special increment (also commonly referred to as the ‘sexenio’ or six-yearly increment) being paid — once it is demonstrated that they have satisfied the relevant requirements — only to established civil servants forming part of the public teaching service?
