101In order for clause 5(1)(a) of the Framework Agreement to be complied with, it must therefore be specifically verified that the renewal of successive fixed-term employment contracts or relationships is intended to cover temporary needs and that a national provision such as Article 4(1) of Law No 124/1999, read in conjunction with Article 1 of Decree No 131/2007 is not, in fact, being used to meet fixed and permanent staffing needs of the employer (see, to this effect, judgment in Kücük, EU:C:2012:39, paragraph 39 and the case-law cited).
