51First, having regard to the objective of Directive 98/59, which is, as is apparent from recital 2 in the preamble thereto, inter alia, to afford greater protection to workers in the event of collective redundancies, a narrow definition cannot be given to the concepts that define the scope of that directive, including the concept of ‘redundancy’ in the first subparagraph of Article 1(1)(a) thereof (see, to that effect, Balkaya, C‑229/14, EU:C:2015:455, paragraph 44).
