119First, while Hungary refers, in support of its arguments, to Directive 2006/123, suffice it to state, in any event and in accordance with paragraph 108 of the present judgment, that the substantive legality of an EU act cannot be examined in the light of another EU act of the same status in the hierarchy of legal rules, unless the former has been adopted pursuant to the latter or unless it is expressly provided, in one of those two acts, that one take precedence over the other. That does not apply to the contested directive. Moreover, as is stated in Article 1(6) of Directive 2006/123, that directive ‘does not affect labour law, that is any legal or contractual provision concerning employment conditions [and] working conditions’.
