I have a question on section 9. I would like some clarification as to the objective grounds or the reasons that may exist for the renewal on a fixed-term contract basis, rather than a contract of indefinite duration. Who will decide on this matter? Section 8 provides a definition of objective grounds for less favourable treatment but there is no definition for objective reasons or grounds justifying the renewal of the fixed-term contract. How will that work on the ground?
