Two important subfields of social law – Exercise 2
Page: 104
Chapter: Part 3, B. III. 2.
Suggested solution:
In the context of social law, the question is whether the age limits in this case are acceptable under EU law (regarding the residence requirement, see the exercises on the free movement of persons and services). However, the directive that prohibits age discrimination, namely Directive 2000/78/EC, does not cover access to services. At present, there is no other secondary EU law that could apply in this context but there might be such law in the future, if the Commission proposal from 2008 is adopted. Although some progress has recently been made, further political discussions are needed before the required unanimity can be reached in the Council.
