sec_2__2__para__8

Only in the case of foster parents employed by the state who provide for the upbringing and maintenance of children withdrawn from the custody of their parents has the Court so far explicitly held that the exclusion of specific public service activities from the scope of the Directive applies. It found that the peculiar characteristics of performing their activity continuously, including during weekly rest days, public holidays, non-working days and annual leave, strictly preclude the application of the Directive to them (75).
