         Re:
      
      Reference for a preliminary ruling — Centrale Raad van Beroep — Interpretation of Articles 4, 5 and 10 of Council Directive 80/987/EEC of 20 October 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer (OJ 1980 L 283, p. 23), as amended by Directive 2002/74/EC (OJ 2002 L 270, p. 10) — Extent of the guarantee offered by the guarantee institution — National legislation obliging employees to register immediately as job-seekers before they apply for payment of outstanding pay claims.
      
         Operative part of the judgment
      
      Articles 3 and 4 of Council Directive 80/987/EEC of 20 October 1980 relating to the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer, as amended by Directive 2002/74/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 September 2002 must be interpreted as precluding a national rule which obliges employees to register as job-seekers in the event of the insolvency of their employer, in order to fully assert their right to payment of outstanding wage claims, such as those in issue in the main proceedings.
