Recital 20
(20) This Directive lays down minimum requirements and thus offers the Member States the option of introducing or maintaining more favourable provisions. The implementation of this Directive shouldmay not serve to justify any regression in relation to the situation prevailing in each Member State, in particular national laws which, by combining parental leave and maternity leave, provide for an entitlement to the mother of at least 18 weeks of leave allocated before and/or after confinement, and remunerated at least at the level provided for in this Directive.
