In a new judgment about dicrimination against migrant workers in Austria, the Court declares that
(a) by denying workers who are nationals of other Member States of the European Union or the European Economic Area the right to stand for election to workers’ and employees’ chambers, the Republic of Austria has failed to fulfil its obligations under EU law;
(b) by denying workers who are nationals of a non-member State with which the Community has concluded an agreement prohibiting discrimination, as regards conditions of work, against any such workers legally employed in a Member State, the right to stand for election to works councils and the general assemblies of workers’ and employees’ chambers, the Republic of Austria has failed to fulfil its obligations under those agreements.
