Después de 60 sentencias y autos del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea interpretando la Directiva 1999/70/CE relativa al Acuerdo marco sobre el trabajo de duración determinada, pueden considerarse suficientemente aclarados tres aspectos relacionados con el empleo público temporal en España a partir de las dos últimas sentencias de 2020: que el legislador español no ha incorporado debidamente al Derecho interno las obligaciones europeas; que la equiparación entre temporales y fijos ha tenido un extraordinario efecto directo, aunque no obliga a reconocer una indemnización por cese de funcionarios o estatutarios temporales como ocurre con los laborales (sentencia Baldonedo Martín / Ayuntamiento de Madrid); y, en fin, que, ante la falta de correcta transposición de la Directiva, corresponde a los jueces españoles determinar una sanción efectiva y disuasoria sin que, como se establece convenientemente en el Derecho español, sea preciso transformar el nombramiento temporal en fijo (sentencia Sánchez Ruiz / Servicio Madrileño de Salud).
Up to now the Court of Justice of the European Union has delivered 60 decisions on the interpretation of the Directive 1999/70/EC concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work and three issues become clear according to the last two judgments in 2020 on temporary public employees: first, Spanish law-makers have not yet implemented the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive; second, equal treatment between fixed-term and permanent public employees has direct effect, however, it must be interpreted as not precluding the Spanish law that does not provide for the payment of any compensation either for interim or for established civil servants, upon the termination of their employment (case Baldonedo Martín v Municipality of Madrid); and third, given the lack of the implementation measures of the Directive, meanwhile Spanish courts are obliged to prevent and penalise the misuse of successive temporary contracts and to eliminate the consequence of the breach of EU law, but excluding, as it is categorically stated in the Spanish law, the conversion of the temporary regulated relationship into a permanent relationship (case Sánchez Ruiz / Madrid Health Service).
