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

The Working Time Directive also does not deal with the issue of remuneration, including the level of salaries and the methods of remuneration and various pay rates which can be established at national level (92). The Court has held that this was clear from both the purpose and the wording of the Directive’s provisions. It is also an unambiguous consequence of Article 153(5) of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (93). The only exception to this principle recognised by the Court is that of the pay which must be ensured during the workers’ annual leave (see Chapter VII).
