Palacios de la Villa v Cortefiel Servicios SA (Case C-411/05)

“Although a Spanish law permitting compulsory retirement at age 65 gave rise to a difference in treatment directly based on age, as referred to in art 2 of Directive 2000/78 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation, it was justified under art 6 as a measure having a legitimate aim relating to employment policy.”
