152Reliance on the mere temporary nature of employment does not meet those requirements and cannot, therefore, constitute an ‘objective ground’ within the meaning of clause 4(1) and/or (4) of the Framework Agreement. If the mere temporary nature of an employment relationship were considered to be enough to justify a difference in treatment as between fixed-term workers and permanent workers, the objectives of Directive 1999/70 and the Framework Agreement would be rendered meaningless and it would be tantamount to perpetuating a situation disadvantageous to fixed-term workers (judgment of 20 September 2018, Motter, C‑466/17, EU:C:2018:758, paragraph 38).
