Questions referred
1.
Must Clause 8 of the Framework Agreement put into effect by Directive 1990/70/EEC (1) be interpreted as precluding domestic rules (such as those laid down by Articles 11 and 1 of Legislative Decree No 368/2001) which, in implementation of Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP, repealed Article 1(2)(b) of Law 230/1962, according to which it was ‘permitted to impose a time-limit on the duration of the contract … when the recruitment’ took ‘place in order to replace absent workers’ who ‘retained the right to their post, provided that in the fixed-term contract’‘an indication was given of the name of the replaced worker and the reasons for his replacement’, substituting for it a provision which no longer imposes that obligation to give details?
2.
