This 2 are sketchy, I can't confirm them :

Case C-415/10, Brüstle v. Deutsche Telekom AG (2011): In this case, the ECJ considered the impact of affirmative action measures in the context of employment. The case involved a claim by a male employee who felt disadvantaged because of a company policy favoring women for certain promotions. The ECJ reaffirmed that affirmative action measures must be proportionate and targeted towards addressing underrepresentation, and they must not result in undue discrimination against individuals who do not benefit from such measures. The Court emphasized the need to balance the aims of affirmative action with the principles of equal treatment.

Case C-407/15, Vassallo v. Banca Popolare di Milano (2016): This case involved a claim where an employee argued that affirmative action policies favoring certain groups resulted in discrimination against him. The ECJ ruled on the compatibility of such measures with EU anti-discrimination laws. The Court held that while affirmative action measures are permitted under EU law, they must be carefully designed to achieve the intended goals without disproportionate adverse effects on others.
