58While such a reference back to national authorities for the purpose of establishing the specific rules for application of the terms ‘successive’ for the purposes of the Framework Agreement may be explained by the concern to respect the diversity of the relevant national rules, it is, however, to be remembered that the margin of appreciation thereby left for the Member States is not unlimited, because it cannot in any event go so far as to compromise the objective or the practical effect of the Framework Agreement. In particular, that discretion must not be exercised by national authorities in such a way as to lead to a situation liable to give rise to abuse and thus to thwart that objective (judgment of 4 July 2006, Adeneler and Others, C‑212/04, EU:C:2006:443, paragraph 82).
