Should EU law, in particular Clause 5 of the framework agreement annexed to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP, be interpreted as precluding national legislation which in all cases prohibits the conversion of fixed-term employment contracts concluded by public law entities into contracts of an indefinite duration?
Should Directive 1999/70/EC be interpreted as requiring the conversion of the contracts as being the only means to prevent abuse arising from the use of successive fixed-term employment contracts?
