35In such a situation, the rights to paid annual leave thus granted beyond the minimum required by Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88 are governed not by that directive, but by national law, outside the regime established by that directive, it being nonetheless borne in mind that such provisions of national law which are more favourable to workers cannot be used to compensate for a possible infringement of the minimum protection guaranteed by that provision of EU law, such as that resulting from, inter alia, a reduction in the remuneration due by virtue of the minimum paid annual leave thus guaranteed by that provision (see, to that effect, judgment of 13 December 2018, Hein, C‑385/17, EU:C:2018:1018, paragraphs 42 and 43, and, by analogy, judgment of 10 July 2014, Julián Hernández and Others, C‑198/13, EU:C:2014:2055, paragraphs 43 and 44).
