Judgment_paragraph 82 · HK Danmark, acting on behalf of Jette Ring v Dansk almennyttigt Boligselskab (C‑335/11) and HK Danmark, acting on behalf of Lone Skouboe Werge v Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening, acting on behalf of Pro Display A/S (C‑337/11) (C-335/11, C-337/11)

82The Court has previously held that encouragement of recruitment undoubtedly constitutes a legitimate aim of the social or employment policy of the Member States and that that assessment must evidently apply to instruments of national employment policy designed to improve opportunities for entering the labour market for certain categories of workers (see Case C-411/05 Palacios de la Villa [2007] ECR I-8531, paragraph 65). Similarly, a measure taken to promote the flexibility of the labour market may be regarded as a measure of employment policy.
