34As a preliminary point, it should be recalled that the purpose of Directive 2000/78, as stated in Article 1 thereof, is to lay down a general framework for combating discrimination, as regards employment and occupation, on any of the grounds referred to in that article, which include disability. In that regard, as is apparent in particular from Article 2(1) of that directive, the principle of equal treatment which it affirms applies by reference to those grounds listed exhaustively in Article 1 (judgments of 7 July 2011, Agafiţei and Others, C‑310/10, EU:C:2011:467, paragraph 34, and of 21 May 2015, SCMD, C‑262/14, not published, EU:C:2015:336, paragraph 29).
