         Question referred
      
      Is 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 (1) to be interpreted as precluding a national provision, like that at issue in the main proceedings (Article 60(4) TRLGSS), which provides that women who have had at least two biological or adopted children and are recipients of contributory retirement pensions are entitled to a pension supplement, whereas other women who are in identical circumstances and who, as a result of the fact that they are women, are faced with identical difficulties as regards remaining in the employment market, are not entitled to such a retirement pension supplement because they have taken voluntary early retirement which, by law, is subject to greater contribution conditions than an ordinary pension and identical or very similar age conditions?
