Operative part of the judgment

The second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU, read in conjunction with Article 2 TEU,

must be interpreted as meaning that the principle of judicial independence does not preclude the repeal, after it had been continuously suspended for a long period, for reasons connected principally to the need to eliminate an excessive budget deficit of the Member State concerned, of the legislation of that State under which judges with 20 years’ continuous service in the judiciary received, at the time of their retirement or upon leaving the service for other reasons not attributable to them, a severance payment.
