      Parties to the main proceedings
   
   
      Applicant: María Jesús Lorenzo Martínez
   
      Defendant: Junta de Castilla y León, Dirección General de Recursos Humanos de la Consejería de Educación
   
      Re:
   
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Juzgado Contencioso-Administrativo de Valladolid — Interpretation of Clause 4 of the Annex to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP (OJ 1999 L 175, p. 43) — Principle of non-discrimination — Grant to teaching staff of a six-yearly continuing professional education increment — Increment granted exclusively to established (career) civil servants
   
      Operative part of the order
   
   Clause 4(1) of the framework agreement on fixed-term work, concluded on 18 March 1999 and annexed to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP, must be interpreted as precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which restricts, in the absence of any objective justification, the right to receive a six-yearly continuing professional education increment solely to teachers employed as established (career) civil servants, to the exclusion of those working as temporary officials, where, in respect of the receipt of that increment, those two categories of workers are in comparable situations.
