SCHEDULE
Moving on from that, the proposed Article 35.5.3° is very problematic. The wording "classes of persons whose remuneration is paid out of public money" leaves the possibility that cleaning staff under contract with a public institution, for example, might fit into such a class. It seems that a stipulation is required that the persons involved who are comparators be paid directly out of public money; in other words they should be people directly in State employment. That is the reason I am proposing the use of the word "directly" and indicate that the people targeted would be paid directly from public money.
