51Lastly, in the present case, it should be noted that the fact of granting workers days of paid annual leave which exceed the minimum period of 4 weeks guaranteed in Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88 and of providing that those days are not to be carried over on the grounds of illness, pursuant to national rules or collective agreements such as those at issue in the main proceedings, is not, as such, capable of affecting or limiting the minimum protection thus guaranteed to those workers under that provision (see, by analogy, judgment of 10 July 2014, Julián Hernández and Others, C‑198/13, EU:C:2014:2055, paragraph 43); nor is it capable of infringing other provisions of that directive, or adversely affecting its coherence or the objectives pursued thereby.
