48As is clear from the answer to Question 1(b) and Question 4, EU law, in particular Directive 2000/78, is still not being correctly applied after adoption of the national legislation at issue. The system applicable to the employees favoured by the previous system therefore remains the only valid point of reference. Therefore re-establishing equal treatment, in a case such as that at issue in the main proceedings, involves granting employees disadvantaged by the previous system the same benefits as those enjoyed by the employees favoured by that system, both as regards the recognition of periods of service completed before the age of 18 and advancement in the pay scale.
