      Questions referred
   
   
            1.
         
         
            Must Article 56 TFEU and Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services (

               ) and Directive 2014/67/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC (
                  2
               ) be interpreted as precluding a national provision which, for infringements of formal obligations in connection with the cross-border deployment of labour, such as the failure to keep available documents relating to pay, provides for very high fines, in particular high minimum penalties, which are imposed cumulatively in respect of each worker concerned?
         
      
            2.
