Ved domme af 3. februar 1994 gav Arbeitsgericht i det væsentlige sagsøgerne medhold, idet retten
See Case C-50/96
nærmere præciserede, hvilke beskæftigelsesperioder der skulle tages i betragtning for Brunhilde Schrage's vedkommende.
That article was amended as follows with effect from 1 January 1988: replaced by Articles 136 EC to 143 EC) and of the Protocol concerning Article 119 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (hereinafter 'the Protocol'), annexed to the EC Treaty.
Såfremt den første eller den anden del af spørgsmålet besvares bekræftende, ønsker den forelæggende ret for det tredje oplyst, om den nationale ret, der inden for sit kompetenceområde skal anvende fællesskabsretlige forskrifter, har pligt til at sikre disse reglers fulde virkning og i påkommende tilfælde undlade at anvende modstridende bestemmelser i national lovgivning.
Those questions were raised in two sets of proceedings between Deutsche Post AG (hereinafter 'Deutsche Post'), formerly Deutsche Bundespost, and E. Sievers (C-270/97) and B. Schrage (C-271/97) concerning the conditions for membership of a supplementary occupational retirement pension scheme and the grant of a pension under it.
I henhold til fast retspraksis skal en pensionsordning som den, der er tale om i hovedsagerne, og som i det væsentlige bero på pensionsmodtagerens arbejdsforhold, ses i tilknytning til den løn, vedkommende modtog, og den henhører under traktatens artikel 119.
'An employee shall be insured with the VAP as provided for in its statute and implementing provisions where ... he is employed in an activity which is not simply negligible within the meaning of Article 8(1) of Book IV of the Sozialgesetzbuch [Social Security Code].'
Landesarbeitsgericht Niedersachsen besluttede herefter at udsætte sagerne og har i begge sager forelagt Domstolen nogle præjudicielle spørgsmål.
In 1985, the Gesetz über arbeitsrechtliche Vorschriften zur Beschäftigungsförderung (Law laying down provisions of employment law designed to promote employment, hereinafter 'the BeschFG'), Articles 2 to 6 of which govern parttime work, was enacted.
Ved skrivelse af 5. november 1998 har Deutsche Post fremsat begæring om genåbning af den mundtlige forhandling.
Mrs Sievers was employed on a parttime basis by Deutsche Bundespost from 16 September 1964 to 28 February 1988, on which date she retired.
Den af Deutsche Post fremsatte begæring blev ikke taget til følge.
Because of her working hours, which were always less than 18 hours a week, except for a period from 1963 to 1964 when she worked 18 hours a week, Mrs Sievers was never affiliated to the VAP.
For så vidt angår den tidsmæssige begrænsning af virkningerne af traktatens artikel 119 bemærkes først, at Domstolen i dom af 8. april 1976 (sag 43/75, Defrenne II) fastslog, at princippet i artikel 119 om lige løn kan påberåbes ved de nationale domstole, og at disse domstole har pligt til at sikre beskyttelsen af de rettigheder, som denne bestemmelse tillægger borgerne.
Under Article 24 of the Tarifvertrag für Arbeiter der Deutschen Bundespost (Collective agreement for German Post Office workers), workers must be affiliated to the Versorgungsanstalt der Deutschen Bundespost (German Post Office Pensions Institution, 'the VAP') under the conditions laid down in the current version of the Tarifvertrag über die Versorgung der Arbeitnehmer der Deutschen Bundespost (Collective Agreement concerning Pensions for Employees of the German Post Office, hereinafter 'the collective pensions agreement').
For så vidt angår erhvervstilknyttede pensionsordninger fastslog Domstolen i Barberdommens præmis 44 og 45, at bydende retssikkerhedshensyn tilsiger, at den direkte virkning af traktatens artikel 119 ikke kan påberåbes til støtte for krav om tilkendelse af pensionsret fra et tidspunkt, der ligger forud for
'An employee shall be insured with the VAP as provided for in its statute and implementing provisions where ... his average weekly working hours under his contract of employment are equivalent to at least half of the weekly hours required ... to be regularly worked by a corresponding full-time employee ..."
Med det første spørgsmål, set under ét, ønsker den forelæggende ret nærmere bestemt oplyst, for det første, om den tidsmæssige begrænsning af muligheden for at påberåbe sig den direkte virkning af traktatens artikel 119 er til hinder for nationale bestemmelser, som opstiller et lighedsprincip, hvorefter alle deltidsansatte under omstændigheder som de i hovedsagerne foreliggende har ret til at blive tilsluttet en erhvervstilknyttet pensionsordning med tilbagevirkende kraft og til at få udbetalt en pension i henhold til den pågældende ordning.
Mrs Sievers instituted proceedings before the Arbeitsgericht (Labour Court) Hannover seeking an order that Deutsche Post pay her, as from her retirement, a supplementary retirement pension of an amount equivalent to that which she would have received if she had been affiliated to the VAP throughout the period of her employment relationship.
For det andet ønsker den forelæggende ret nærmere bestemt oplyst, om traktatens artikel 119 er til hinder for bestemmelser i en medlemsstat, hvorved der opstilles et
Mrs Schrage also instituted proceedings against Deutsche Post before the same court for the same purpose.
Den eneste tidsmæssige begrænsning af muligheden for at påberåbe sig den direkte virkning af traktatens artikel 119 for så vidt angår retten til at være omfattet af en erhvervstilknyttet pensionsordning som den i hovedsagerne omhandlede og til den dermed forbundne udbetaling af pension er den, der følger af Defrenne II-dommen.
Both claimed that the exclusion of parttime workers who worked less than 20, and then 18, hours a week from entitlement to a supplementary pension constituted discrimination prohibited by Article 119 of the Treaty, by Article 3 of the Grundgesetz für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany) and by Article 2(1) of the BeschFG.
Den tidsmæssige begrænsning af virkningerne af traktatens artikel 119, der følger såvel af Barberdommen som af protokollen, angår kun de former for forskelsbehandling, som arbejdsgiverne og pensionskasserne med rimelighed kunne betragte som tilladte på grund af de undtagelser på området for erhvervstilknyttede pensioner, der som overgangsforanstaltninger er fastsat i de fællesskabsretlige regler.
Deutsche Post contended that their claims should be dismissed on the ground that the difference of treatment was justified for objective reasons, that the expense of retroactively extending the scheme to all parttime workers would jeopardise the economic survival of Deutsche Post and that, having regard to the case-law of the Court of Justice on Article 119 of the Treaty, the rights claimed by the plaintiffs had not become vested rights in respect of periods of work prior to 17 May 1990, the date of the judgment in Case C262/88 Barber ν Guardian Royal Exchange.
Kun undtagelsesvis vil Domstolen som antaget i Defrenne II-dommen under anvendelse af et almindeligt retssikkerhedsprincip, der er forankret i Fællesskabets retsorden, og under hensyntagen til de alvorlige vanskeligheder, som dens dom kunne have vedrørende fortidige retsforhold stiftet i god tro, finde anledning til at begrænse muligheden for at påberåbe sig den således fortolkede bestemmelse med henblik på en fornyet prøvelse af de nævnte retsforhold.
By judgments of 3 February 1994, the Arbeitsgericht essentially upheld the claims of Mrs Sievers and Mrs Schrage, at the same time determining more precisely the periods of employment to be taken into account in Mrs Schrage's case.
Siden Bilka-dommen (sag 170/84) blev afsagt, har det nemlig været klart, at en forskelsbehandling på grundlag af køn i forbindelse med anerkendelsen af den pågældende ret udgør en overtrædelse af artikel 119.
By its first question, taken altogether, the national court is seeking to ascertain essentially whether the limitation in time of the possibility of relying on the direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty precludes national provisions which lay down a principle of equal treatment by virtue of which, in circumstances like those of the main proceedings, all parttime workers are entitled to retroactive membership of an occupational pension scheme and to receive a pension under that scheme.
Traktatens artikel 119 skulle være gennemført fuldt ud af de gamle medlemsstater, herunder Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, fra den 1. januar 1962, indledningen af overgangsperiodens anden etape.
Second, the national court asks essentially whether Article 119 of the Treaty precludes provisions of a Member State which lay down a principle of equal treatment by virtue of which, in circumstances like those of the main proceedings, all parttime workers are entitled to retroactive membership of an occupational pension scheme and to receive a pension under that scheme, in view of the risk of distortions of competition between economic operators of the various Member States to the detriment of employers established in the first Member State.
Selv på områder, hvor artikel 119 ikke måtte have direkte virkning, kan gennemførelsen af bestemmelsen om nødvendigt ske gennem et samspil mellem fællesskabs- og nationale bestemmelser.
If the first or the second part of the question is answered in the affirmative, the national court asks, thirdly, whether the national court responsible for applying the provisions of Community law, within the limits of its jurisdiction, is under an obligation to ensure that those provisions are given full effect, if need be by declining to apply any contrary provision of national law.
Eftersom der ikke blev fastsat en tidsmæssig begrænsning af virkningerne af Bilka-dommen, kan den direkte virkning af artikel 119 påberåbes til støtte for krav om ligebehandling med tilbagevirkende gyldighed med hensyn til retten til at være omfattet af en erhvervstilknyttet pensionsordning, og dette med virkning fra den 8. april 1976, som er datoen for afsigelsen af Defrenne II-dommen, hvori den direkte virkning af artikel 119 for første gang blev fastslået.
According to settled case-law, a pension scheme of the type at issue in the main proceedings, which essentially relates to the employment of the person concerned, forms part of the pay received by that person and comes within the scope of Article 119 of the Treaty.
I betragtning af den adfærd, som flere medlemsstater havde udvist, og den holdning, som Kommissionen havde indtaget og gentagne gange meddelt de berørte kredse, måtte den undtagelsesvis tage hensyn til, at de interesserede parter i en længere periode havde set sig foranlediget til at opretholde en praksis, som stred imod artikel 119, skønt den endnu ikke var forbudt efter national ret.
It observed, however, that under the case-law of the Court, the direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty could in principle be relied on to claim equal treatment for men and women in relation to occupational pensions only for periods of employment subsequent to 17 May 1990. Moreover, it was clear from the Protocol that benefits under occupational social security schemes were not to be considered as remuneration if and in so far as they were attributable to periods of employment prior to 17 May 1990.
Formålet med begrænsningen af muligheden for at påberåbe sig den direkte virkning af traktatens artikel 119 var ikke at afskære de berørte
As regards the limitation in time of the effects of Article 119 of the Treaty, it should be recalled, first, that, in Case 43/75 Defrenne ν Sabena [1976] ('Defrenne IP), the Court held that the principle of equal pay contained in Article 119 of the Treaty may be relied upon before the national courts and that those courts have a duty
menneskets grundlæggende rettigheder, som Domstolen skal sikre overholdt, ikke at blive udsat for forskelsbehandling på grundlag af køn.
Since the judgment in Bilka (C-170/84) that any discrimination, based on sex, in the recognition of that right infringes Article 119 of the Treaty.
arbejdstagere fra at påberåbe sig nationale bestemmelser, hvorved der opstilles et lighedsprincip.
Therefore, as the judgment in Bilka included no limitation of its effects in time, the direct effect of Article 119 may be relied on as from 8 April 1976, the date of the judgment in Defrenne II, in which that article was first held to have direct effect, in order retroactively to claim equal treatment in relation to the right to join an occupational pension scheme.
Det økonomiske formål, der forfølges med traktatens artikel 119, og hvorefter konkurrencefordrejning mellem virksomheder i forskellige medlemsstater skal ophæves, er underordnet i forhold til bestemmelsens sociale formål, som er udtryk for en grundlæggende menneskerettighed.
to ensure protection of the rights which that provision vests in individuals. However, in paragraphs 74 and 75 of the same judgment, the Court made it clear that, by virtue of overriding considerations of legal certainty affecting all the interests involved, both public and private, the direct effect of Article 119 could not be relied on in order to support claims relating to pay periods prior to the date of that judgment, namely 8 April 1976, except as regards those workers who had already brought legal proceedings or made an equivalent claim.
Det er uden betydning, at de omtvistede nationale bestemmelser først er blevet fortolket på en måde, der er i overensstemmelse med traktatens artikel 119, efter datoen for afsigelsen af Defrenne II-dommen, selv om en sådan fortolkning i givet fald kommer til at finde anvendelse på situationer, der er opstået og tilvejebragt inden dette tidspunkt. Det tilkommer ikke Domstolen at tage stilling til den tidsmæssige anvendelse af nationale bestemmelser.
As far as occupational pension schemes are concerned, the Court held in paragraphs 44 and 45 of Barber, that by reason of overriding considerations of legal certainty, the direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty could not be relied upon in order to claim entitlement to a pension with effect from a date prior to that of that judgment, namely 17 May 1990, except in the case of claimants who had before that date initiated legal proceedings or raised an equivalent claim.
Traktatens artikel 119 skal hindre, at virksomhederne i de stater, som faktisk har gennemført princippet om lige løn, handicappes i konkurrencen inden for Fællesskabet i forhold til virksomheder, som er placeret i stater, der endnu ikke har fjernet den lønmæssige forskelsbehandling til skade for den kvindelige arbejdskraft.
The only limitation in time on the possibility of relying on the direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty in relation to membership of an occupational pension scheme of the kind at issue in the main proceedings and the subsequent payment of a pension is that resulting from Defrenne II.
Med det andet spørgsmål ønsker den forelæggende ret nærmere bestemt oplyst, om de nationale domstole er forpligtet til at fortolke nationale retsforskrifter i lyset af ordlyden af og formålet med de relevante fællesskabsbestemmelser, navnlig traktatens artikel 119.
The direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty may be relied upon, for the purpose of claiming equal treatment in the matter of occupational pensions, only in relation to benefits payable in respect of periods of employment subsequent to 17 May 1990, subject to the exception in favour of workers or those claiming under them who had, before that date, initiated legal proceedings or raised an equivalent claim under the applicable national law.
De nationale domstole er forpligtet til, i videst muligt omfang, at fortolke nationale retsforskrifter i lyset af ordlyden af og formålet med de relevante fællesskabsbestemmelser, navnlig traktatens artikel 119, og at fremkalde det med bestemmelserne tilsigtede resultat.
The limitation in time of the effects of Article 119 resulting from both the Barber judgment and the Protocol concerns only those kinds of discrimination which employers and pension schemes could reasonably have considered to be permissible owing to the transitional derogations for which Community law provided and which were capable of being applied to occupational pensions.
Dette mål fremhæves yderligere af, at traktatens artikel 119 er indføjet i kapitlet om socialpolitikken, hvis indledende bestemmelse, EF-traktatens artikel 117 (EF-traktatens artikel 117-120 er blevet erstattet af artikel 136 EF - 143 EF), fastslår, at det er nødvendigt at fremme en forbedring af arbejdernes leve- og arbejdsvilkår for herigennem at muliggøre en udjævning af disse vilkår på et stadigt stigende niveau.
As the Court recognised in Defrenne II, it is only exceptionally that the Court may, in application of the general principle of legal certainty inherent in the Community legal order and in taking account of the serious effects which its judgment might have, as regards the past, on legal relationships established in good faith, be moved to restrict for any person concerned the opportunity of relying upon the provision as thus interpreted with a view to calling in question those legal relationships.
Fællesskabsretten, navnlig traktatens artikel 119, tilsigter at gennemføre princippet om lige løn til mænd og kvinder og er ikke til hinder for nationale bestemmelser, som fører til, at det pågældende princip overholdes.
As far as the right to join an occupational scheme is concerned, the Court has stated that there was no reason to suppose that those concerned could have been mistaken as to the applicability of Article 119.
*1) Den tidsmæssige begrænsning af muligheden for at påberåbe sig den direkte virkning af EF-traktatens artikel 119 (EF-traktatens artikel 117-120 er blevet erstattet af artikel 136 EF - 143 EF), der følger af dom af 8. april 1976 (sag 43/75, Defrenne II), er ikke til hinder for nationale bestemmelser, som opstiller et lighedsprincip, hvorefter alle
The application of Article 119 was to have been fully secured by the original Member States, including the Federal Republic of Germany, as from 1 January 1962, the beginning of the second stage of the transitional period. Article 119 has no direct effect, its implementation may if need
Traktatens artikel 119 er ikke til hinder for bestemmelser i en medlemsstat, hvorved der opstilles et lighedsprincip, hvorefter alle deltidsansatte under omstændigheder som de i hovedsagerne foreliggende har ret til at blive tilsluttet en privat, erhvervstilknyttet pensionsordning med tilbagevirkende kraft og til at få udbetalt en pension i henhold til den pågældende ordning, selv om der kan opstå konkurrencefordrejning mellem erhvervsdrivende i de forskellige medlemsstater til skade for arbejdsgivere, der er etableret i førstnævnte medlemsstat.
In the light of the conduct of several of the Member States and the views adopted by the Commission and repeatedly brought to the notice of the circles concerned, it was appropriate to take exceptionally into account the fact that, over a prolonged period, the parties concerned had been led to continue with practices which were contrary to Article 119 of the Treaty, although not yet prohibited under their national law.
De nationale domstole er forpligtet til, i videst muligt omfang, at fortolke nationale retsforskrifter i lyset af ordlyden af og formålet med de relevante fællesskabsbestemmelser, navnlig traktatens artikel 119, med henblik på at sikre gennemførelsen af princippet om Uge løn til mænd og kvinder.*
The possibility of relying on the direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty was not intended in any way to deprive the workers concerned of the opportunity of relying on national provisions laying down a principle of equal treatment.
Generaladvokat G. Cosmas fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Sjette Afdeling^ den 8. oktober 1998.
In those circumstances, the fact that, prior to Defrenne II, the principle of equal pay for men and women could not be relied on against employers established in Member States other than the Federal Republic of Germany, either under national legislation or by virtue of the direct effect of Article 119 of the Treaty, does not affect the application of national rules ensuring observance of that principle in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Sag C-340/97 Ömer Nazli, Caglar Nazli, Melike Nazli / Stadt Nürnberg Forbindelserne udadtil
By its second question the national court is essentially asking whether it is required to interpret its national law in the light of the wording and purpose of the relevant Community provisions, in particular Article 119 of the Treaty.
Præjudiciel »Associeringsaftalen EØF-Tyrkiet — arbejdskraftens frie bevægelighed — artikel 6, stk 1, og artikel 14, stk 1, i associeringsrådets afgørelse nr. 1/80 — tilknytning til det lovlige arbejdsmarked i en medlemsstat — tyrkisk arbejdstager varetægtsfængslet og efterfølgende idømt betinget frihedsstraf — udvisning af generalpræventive grunde* (Sjette Afdeling)
National courts are required to interpret their national law as far as possible in the light of the wording and purpose of the relevant Community provisions, in particular Article 119 of the Treaty, in order to achieve the result pursued by them.
(herefter »afgørelse nr. 1/80«). Associeringsrådet blev oprettet ved aftalen om oprettelse af en associering mellem Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab og Tyrkiet, som blev undertegnet den 12. september 1963 i Ankara dels af Republikken Tyrkiet, dels af EØFs medlemsstater og
Community law, in particular Article 119 of the Treaty, seeks to implement the principle of equal pay for men and women and does not preclude national provisions which are conducive to compliance with that principle.
Ved kendelse af 7. juli 1997 har Bayerisches Verwaltungsgericht Ansbach forelagt to præjudiciellespørgsmålvedrørendefortolkningen af artikel 6, stk. 1, og artikel 14, stk. 1, i associeringsrådets afgørelse nr. 1/80 af 19. september 1980 om udvikling af associeringen
The Court has stressed that Article 119 forms part of the social objectives of the Community, which is not merely an economic union but is at the same time intended, by common action, to ensure social progress and seek constant improvement of the living and working conditions of the peoples of Europe, as is emphasised in the Preamble to the Treaty.
Begæringen om forlængelse af denne tilladelse, som Orner Nazli indgav den 10. november 1994, blev afslået ved afgørelse af 6. oktober 1995 fra udlændingemyndigheden i Stadt Nürnberg, som samtidig besluttede, at han skulle udvises. Den 21. november 1996 stadfæstede de kompetente myndigheder, til hvem Orner Nazli indbragte sagen ved administrativ rekurs, afgørelsen.
The limitation in time of the possibility of relying on the direct effect of Article 119 of the EC Treaty (Articles 117 to 120 of the EC Treaty have been replaced by Articles 136 EC to 143 EC), resulting from the judgment in Case 43/75 Defrenne ν Sabena [1976] ECR 455, does not preclude national provisions which lay down a principle of equal treatment by virtue of which, in circumstances like those of the main proceedings, all parttime workers are entitled to retroactive membership of an occupational pension scheme and to receive a pension under that scheme.
Efter afslutningen af hans første ansættelsesforhold i juni 1989 var Orner Nazli syg eller arbejdsløs i flere perioder, men han fandt altid arbejde igen hos andre arbejdsgivere.
Article 119 of the Treaty does not preclude provisions of a Member State which lay down a principle of equal treatment by virtue of which, in circumstances like those of the main proceedings, all parttime workers are entitled to retroactive membership of a private occupational pension scheme and to receive a pension under that scheme, notwithstanding the risk of distortions of competition between economic operators of the various Member States to the detriment of employers established in the first Member Stale.
