(Case C-209/15)

(2015/C 254/08)

Language of the case: Dutch

Referring court

Centrale Raad van Beroep

Parties to the main proceedings

Appellant: Korpschef van politie

Respondent: W.F. de Munk

Questions referred

1.

Must Article 7 of Directive 2003/88/EC (1) be interpreted as meaning that it cannot be reconciled with a national provision such as Article 19 of the Besluit algemene rechtspositie politie (Decree on the general legal status of the police) (‘the Barp’), under which a public servant who has been wrongly dismissed does not accumulate any leave hours during the period between the date of dismissal and the date of reinstatement of the employment relationship, or the date on which the employment relationship is finally validly terminated?

2.

If it follows from Question 1 that leave hours were indeed accumulated during the period at issue, must Article 7 of Directive 2003/88/EC then be interpreted as meaning that it cannot be reconciled with Article 23 of the Barp, which provides that at the end of the reference year only a limited number of leave hours may be carried over to the following year and the remaining unused leave hours expire?
