Summary/Abstract: Pregnant workers, workers who have recently given birth or who are breastfeeding must be considered a specific risk group so measures must be taken. Workers who have recently given birth or workers who are breastfeeding should not treat women on the labour market unfavourably nor work to the detriment of directives concerning equal treatment for men and women. Unfavourable treatment of a woman related to pregnancy or maternity constitutes direct discrimination on grounds of sex. EU Directives do not contain express provisions on the rights of women who use assisted reproductive procedures, either in vitro fertilization or surrogacy. In these cases the Court of Justice of the European Union would have to rule on the application of EU law.
