2010/C 317/14
Language of the case: Spanish
Applicant: Pedro Manuel Roca Álvarez
Defendant: Sesa Start España ETT SA
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Galicia — Interpretation of Article 13 EC and Council Directive 76/207/EEC of 9 February 1976 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions (OJ 1976 L 39, p. 40), as amended by Directive 2002/73 (OJ 2002 L 269, p. 25) — National legislation conferring on mothers who are employees a right to leave for feeding an unweaned child, which may be exercised by the mother or the father in the form of a reduction in working time — Exclusion where the mother is self-employed and the father is an employee — Principle of equal treatment
Article 2(1), (3) and (4) and Article 5 of Council Directive 76/207/EEC of 9 February 1976 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions, must be interpreted as precluding a national measure such as the one at issue in the main proceedings, which provides that female workers who are mothers and whose status is that of an employed person are entitled, in various ways, to take leave during the first nine months following the child’s birth, whereas male workers who are fathers with that same status are not entitled to the same leave unless the child’s mother is also an employed person.
