Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Maternity leave under this Directive should not conflict with the Member States’ provisions on parental leave, and it in no way aims to circumvent such models. Rules on maternity leave and Member States’ existing models on parental leave are mutually compatible and can count towards each other. They complement each other and in combination can make it easier to combine work and family life.
