43Secondly, in regard to Articles 2(1) and 5(1) of Directive 76/207, it is settled case-law that national provisions discriminate indirectly against women where, although worded in neutral terms, they work to the disadvantage of a much higher percentage of women than men, unless that difference in treatment is justified by objective factors unrelated to any discrimination on grounds of sex (see, in particular, Case C-226/98 Jørgensen [2000] ECR I-2447, paragraph 29; Case C-322/98 Kachelmann [2000] ECR I-7505, paragraph 23; and Case C-25/02 Rinke [2003] ECR I-8349, paragraph 33).
