Judgment_paragraph 55 · The Queen v Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, ex parte Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematographic and Theatre Union (BECTU) (C-173/99)

55As to that, it must be borne in mind that Directive 93/104 merely lays down minimum requirements for harmonisation of the organisation of working time at Community level and leaves Member States to adopt the requisite arrangements for implementation and application of those requirements. Those measures may therefore display certain divergences as regards the conditions for exercising the right to paid annual leave but, as the Court has held in paragraphs 52 and 53 of this judgment, that directive does not allow Member States to exclude the very existence of a right expressly granted to all workers.
