Must Article 31(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union of 12 December 2007 or Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time (1) be interpreted as meaning that they preclude national legislation or practice according to which, if there is a reduction in the days to be worked each week as a result of a lawful order specifying short-time working, the entitlement to paid annual leave of a worker on short-time working is adjusted pro rata to reflect the ratio between the number of working days each week during the period of short-time working and the number of working days each week for a full-time worker and, as a result, during the period of short-time working, the short-time worker accrues a correspondingly reduced entitlement to annual leave? |

If the first question is answered in the affirmative: Must Article 31(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union of 12 December 2007 or Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time be interpreted as meaning that they preclude national legislation and practice according to which, if the number of days to be worked each week is reduced to zero as a result of a lawful order specifying ‘zero hours short-time working’, the entitlement to paid annual leave of a worker on short-time working is adjusted pro rata to nothing and, as a result, during the period of ‘zero hours short-time working’, the short-time worker does not accrue any entitlement to annual leave? |
