35As regards the consequences of failure to observe the principle of equal treatment in a situation such as that in the main proceedings, it must be recalled that, in accordance with established case-law, where discrimination contrary to European Union law has been established, as long as measures reinstating equal treatment have not been adopted, observance of the principle of equality can be ensured only by granting to persons within the disadvantaged category the same advantages as those enjoyed by persons within the favoured category (see Case C-18/95 Terhoeve [1999] ECR I-345, paragraph 57; and Case C-399/09 Landtová [2011] ECR I-5573, paragraph 51). The disadvantaged person must therefore be placed in the same position as the person enjoying the advantage concerned.
