The Federal Administrative Court admitted the appeal to the Federal Court of Justice on grounds of fundamental legal significance. The dispute concerns the permissibility of a member-state "opt-out" regulation permitting voluntary overtime (shift work) in the fire service to exceed 48 weekly hours. The decisive legal issue is defining the specific requirements such a national "opt-out" provision must satisfy under Article 22(1) of EU Directive 2003/88/EC (the Working Time Directive).
