26As regards the applicability of Clause 5 of the Framework Agreement in the case in the main proceedings, it should be borne in mind that the purpose of that clause is to implement one of the objectives of that agreement, namely to place limits on successive recourse to fixed-term employment contracts or relationships, regarded as a potential source of abuse to the detriment of workers, by laying down as a minimum a number of protective provisions designed to ensure that the status of employees is not made insecure (judgment of 11 February 2021, M.V. and Others (Successive fixed-term employment contracts in the public sector), C‑760/18, EU:C:2021:113, paragraph 36 and the case-law cited).
