The European Commission has stated it will withdraw a proposal to review the EU's legislation on maternity leave. Greens/EFA MEPs are trying to put pressure on the Commission to change its mind. This review was supposed to bring the EU's legislation in line with WHO recommendations on what is in the best interests of babies and their parents from a health perspective.
