Question for written answer E-000369/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Giorgos Georgiou (The Left)
The work-life balance directive came into force in August 2022. However, because of the many duties they have to fulfil, women continue to struggle due to the lack of public services and social structures.
In Cyprus, when maternity leave ends and women go back to work, they are expected to follow working hours with night shifts as normal, significantly upsetting the balance between their work life and their new duties as mothers.
What will the Commission do to address the shortcomings in the current directive and provide solutions to the significant problems that continue to exist?
