Mr. Nicolas Schmit:
There is a right to maternity leave. There are also now some standards for compensation for those who are on maternity leave, which depend on the remuneration you get when you are on sick leave, which the Deputy mentioned. This is left up to the member states but they must respect these minimum standards.
