Judgment_paragraph 53 · FT v Universitatea „Lucian Blaga” Sibiu and Others (C-644/19)

53Whilst budgetary considerations may underlie a Member State’s choice of social policy and influence the nature or scope of the measures which it wishes to adopt, they do not in themselves constitute an aim pursued by that policy and, therefore, cannot justify the application of national legislation giving rise to a difference of treatment to the detriment of fixed-term workers (order of 9 February 2017, Rodrigo Sanz, C‑443/16, EU:C:2017:109, paragraph 53 and the case-law cited).
