73Where national law, in breach of EU law, provides for different treatment between a number of groups of persons, the members of the group placed at a disadvantage must be treated in the same way and made subject to the same arrangements as the other persons concerned. The arrangements applicable to members of the group placed at an advantage remain, for want of the correct application of EU law, the only valid point of reference (judgment of 13 July 2016, Pöpperl, C‑187/15, EU:C:2016:550, paragraph 46 and the case-law cited).
