Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Appellants: A.M., H.K.

Respondent: Bellavista Società Agricola Ss

Questions referred

Must Clause 5 of the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded on 18 March 1999, which is annexed to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP, (1) be interpreted as precluding national legislation under which the rules of ordinary law governing fixed-term employment relationships, enacted in order to implement the abovementioned directive, are not applicable to employment relationships between agricultural employers and workers on fixed-term contracts?

Must Clause 5 be interpreted as meaning that equivalent legal measures for the prevention of abuse, which take account of the needs of the agricultural sector, may include a measure laid down by the collective bargaining agreement signed by the social partners which provides for the right to convert a fixed-term contract into an indefinite-duration relationship in the case of an agricultural worker who performs 180 days of actual work on the same farm, to be calculated over 12 months from the date of recruitment, this being a right to be exercised within a six-month limitation period?
