As regards access to goods and services, special measures may be adopted. Special measures must be proportional to the legitimate aim pursued and revoked once the aim is achieved. In the labour market, positive measures may be adopted only as prescribed by law or by administrative decision. The scope of positive measures in the labour market is very limited. |
