Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Verwaltungsgericht Frankfurt am Main (Germany) — Interpretation of Articles 6(1) and 17 of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (OJ 2000 L 303, p. 16) — Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of age — Differences of treatment on grounds of age which are ‘objectively and reasonably justified’ and the ‘need for a reasonable period of employment before retirement’ — National provision laying down a maximum recruitment age of 30 for officers in the fire service
Operative part of the judgment
Article 4(1) of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which sets the maximum age for recruitment to intermediate career posts in the fire service at 30 years.
