| Sammanfattning: | The European Court of Justice has since 1990 firmly established the principle of non-discrimination on the ground of sex in relation to pregnant women in the access to employment, working conditions and dismissal. Specific obligations apply to member states and employers since Directive 92/85 entered into force, which has not been amended since. The case of the Court has significantly enhanced the protection against a refusal to enrol or a dismissal linked to pregnancy. This contribution offers a short overview of the relevant EU legislation and an analysis of the case law of the Court on the protection and rights in relation to pregnancy and maternity. |
