ECJ Directive 79/7 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security must be interpreted as meaning that it does not confer on the member states a discretion to include in national implementing measures a transitional provision which, in specifying the consequences of the repeal of a rule that discriminates against women in regard to the grant of a benefit, does so in such a way that the effects of that rule continue after the date of expiry of the period prescribed by the directive for compliance therewith by the member states.
