Questions referred

1.Having regard to Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and Article 30 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, must it be considered that Union law is being implemented within the meaning of Article 51(1) of the Charter where domestic law provides for automatic termination of legal employment relationships or for their termination by decision?

2.If the first question is answered in the affirmative, is it appropriate to interpret Article 30 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union as laying down a prohibition of unjustified dismissal or as doing so to the extent to which it requires that the reasons for dismissal appear clearly from the document bringing the legal relationship to an end and that the worker should be able to verify their truthfulness and relevance?

3.If that is the case, is national legislation which grants the Member State an opportunity to dismiss (lay off) the worker without giving reasons solely in legal relationships in which the State acts as employer through its State administrative organs contrary to the obligation to account for dismissals which results from Article 30 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union?
