17Secondly, the referring court states that it is apparent from the judgment in Case C-411/05 Palacios de la Villa [2007] ECR I-8531 that one condition subject to which an employment contract may be terminated when the employee reaches a certain age is that that employee is able to benefit from financial compensation in the form of payment of a retirement pension financed by contributions. In that regard, in the judgment in Case C-45/09 Rosenbladt [2010] ECR I-9391, the Court of Justice, in the view of the referring court, made no reference to the level of the retirement pension received by the person concerned. In the present case, the 67-year rule has no connection whatsoever with the pension which the individual employee may ultimately receive.
