52By setting out an express proviso in regard to provisions governing individual rights with regard to notice of dismissal, the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of the directive is necessarily contemplating a situation in which contracts of employment have already been terminated, thereby setting such a period in motion. The proviso in regard to the expiry of a period of notice differing from that provided for by the directive would make no sense if no period of notice had started to run.
