And as just pointed out by the OP, none of these provisions apply in this particular case which you're defending.

Well, I thought this :

different treatment based on age is not considered discrimination when it has a justified purpose that is objectively and appropriately founded and derives from justifiable objective relating to employment policy, the labour market, vocational training or other comparable issue

would leave enough room for interpretation. But then again I'm not a lawyer.

Well F... me would a famous chef say. Who has made that law with its exceptions was probably as are many judges living in his/her own world.

Yeah, I thought the whole passage (not just the bit quoted above) left more than enough room for companies to ignore the EU law and get on with business as usual, i.e. ageism. I've been looking at job adds off and on for the past 3 years and still see plenty with ages (younger) given like the original post, or then the so subtle, "no more than 1 (or even 3) years working experience" after university graduation clause.

Which may explain why, despite other post above, I still see different price lists for men and women at many hairdressers.
