§2 Timing of the break

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

Its timing should therefore be adapted to the workers’ schedule and it should take place at the latest after 6 hours.
