'Discriminated' Rome ballerinas case sent to EU court (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, March 9 - The supreme Court of Cassation on Thursday sent to the European Court of Human Rights appeals by a number of ballerinas at the Rome Opera House who were forced to retire at 47 when the male retirement age is 52. The rule may break EU rules on sex discrimination, the Italian court said.
    The Cassation Court said it was sending the case dossier to the European court "immediately".
