31It follows from the forgoing considerations that, as regards the case in the main proceedings, if the statistics adduced before the referring court were to demonstrate that, among the newly retired women subject to the general social security scheme, the proportion of those women who have made contributions for more than 35 years and who receive a pension supplement is considerably larger than the proportion found with regard to newly retired men who are subject to that same scheme, it would be necessary to hold that Article 208(1)(c) of the LGSS involves indirect discrimination based on sex, contrary to Article 4(1) of Directive 79/7, unless it were justified by objective factors unrelated to any discrimination on grounds of sex (see, by analogy, judgment of 8 May 2019, Villar Láiz, C‑161/18, EU:C:2019:382, paragraph 47).
