lpv:translated text	"The directive on maternity leave has finally been adopted today, 20 October, by the European Parliament. I voted for this text, which represents genuine progress for women. The directive has yet to be accepted by the Council. The text passed today aims to confer on women in the European Union the right to 20 weeks’ maternity leave, which is four weeks more than in France, where women currently have the right to 16 weeks’ maternity leave. The text we have adopted also provides a right to 20 days’ paternity leave (more than the 11 days granted at the moment in France). The directive also provides that women must receive the whole of their salary during their leave: a significant signal in the current crisis situation. Moreover, the text includes a social non-regression clause, which means that where the law in Member States is more generous on certain points, it will continue to apply. This is certainly a case of progress therefore, and I welcome it."@en1
