      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Must Article 3 of Directive 89/391/EEC, (1) to which Article 1 of Directive 2003/88/EC of 4 November 2003, (2) determining the scope thereof, refers, be interpreted as meaning that a person placed in a work rehabilitation centre can be classified as a ‘worker’ within the meaning of that Article 3?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Must Article 31 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union be interpreted as meaning that a person, such as described in the previous question, can be classified as a ‘worker’ within the meaning of that Article 31?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Can a person, such as described in the first question, rely directly on the rights conferred on her or him by the Charter in order to obtain an entitlement to paid leave if national legislation does not provide for any such entitlement, and must the national courts, in order to ensure that those rights are fully effective, set aside any contrary provision of national law?
