The Effect in National Legal Systems of the Prohibition of Discrimination on Grounds of Age as a General Principle of Community Law

This paper discusses the Mangold case, decided by the European Court of Justice. In Mangold, the Court found that Community law, in particular Article 6(1) of Directive 2000/78, precludes national legislation from permitting the unrestricted conclusion of fixed-term contracts of employment for workers aged 52 or older, and that it is for the national courts to ensure the full implementation of the general principle of non-discrimination on grounds of age by refraining from applying any incompatible provision of national legislation, even if the implementation period for the Directive has not yet elapsed.
