37Although it is for the national law to specify which compensation falls within the scope of Directive 80/987 as amended, that right is conditional upon observance of fundamental rights, which include inter alia the general principle of equality and nondiscrimination (see, to that effect, the order in Case C-177/05 Guerrero Pecino [2005] ECR I-10887, paragraphs 25 and 26, and the case-law cited). That principle precludes comparable situations from being treated in a different manner unless the difference in treatment is objectively justified (Rodríguez Caballero, paragraph 32, and the case-law cited).
