         Questions referred
      
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Is there a posting of workers according to European law, and specifically according to the definition of posting of workers contained in the judgment of the Court of Justice in Joined Cases C-307/09 to C-309/09 (1) where a contractor undertakes to process sides of beef, using its own workforce, in premises rented from the client in the client’s slaughterhouse and packages them in market-ready packs of meat, and a price is payable to the contractor per kilogram of processed meat, and in the event that the processing is of insufficient quality the contractor has to accept a deduction from the price for meat processing, bearing in mind that in the host State the contractor supplies the service exclusively to that client and the client also monitors the quality of the meat processing work?
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Is the chief principle established by the judgment of the Court of Justice in Joined Cases C-307/09 to C-309/09, according to which the posting of workers can be subject to limitations while the transitional derogation from freedom of movement for workers under the Accession Treaties for the Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 is in force, also applicable to the movement of workers in the course of a posting of workers who are sent to Austria by a company established in a Member State which acceded on 1 May 2004 if such movement occurs in a sector which is not protected under the Accession Treaty?
               
            
         (1)  Judgment of the Court of Justice (Second Chamber) of 10 February 2011.
