If the European Commission sets a minimum standard for paternity leave - something I agree with - does it not make sense for the Commission to also set a minimum standard for maternity leave to avoid a situation where women and men are potentially paid at significantly different levels? Women and men doing the same job may get different amounts when on maternity or paternity leave.
