         Re:
      
      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 precluding a national provision excluding unemployment benefits from the social security benefits granted to domestic workers by a statutory social security scheme, since that provision places female workers at a particular disadvantage as compared with male workers and is not justified by objective factors wholly unrelated to discrimination based on sex.
