COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Interpretative Communication on Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time · European Union

(379) The wording in the English version of Article 18 differs slightly and states that the condition is that ‘equivalent compensating rest periods are granted to the workers concerned or, in exceptional cases where it is not possible for objective reasons to grant such periods the workers concerned are afforded appropriate protection’. This slight difference in the wording does not appear to the same extent in the French, German or Italian versions of the Directive.
