40With regard to the starting point, it follows from the wording of Paragraph 15(4) of the AGG that, ‘in the case of a job application, … the time-limit commences on receipt of the rejection’ of the job application. In such a situation, there is a risk that employees will have no way of determining whether they have been discriminated against, or, if so, to what extent, within a period of two months from rejection of their application, inter alia because of machinations on the part of the employer, which would make it impossible for them to bring the action provided for in the Directive (see, to that effect, Levez, paragraph 31).
