Proposal for a regulation

(15) Flexible working-time arrangements are an essential element of a modern and efficient public administration allowing for family-friendly working conditions and enabling a suitable gender balance within the institutions. It is therefore necessary to introduce in the Staff Regulations an explicit reference to these arrangements in the Staff Regulation, which should be flexible with regard to core office working times. If the appointing authority of each institution introduces specific arrangements to allow an official returning from maternity leave to breastfeed her baby, then the dispensation from working time should be deducted from the applicable flexible working time arrangements.
