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

Member States may grant to workers paid special leave which enables them to meet specific needs or obligations that require their personal presence such as, for instance, marriage, the birth of a child, hospitalization, the death of a close relative, or the performance of representative trade-union functions. The Court ruled that such special leave does not fall within the scope of the Working Time Directive, but rather of the exercise, by a Member State, of its own competences (350).
