Question referred

Is Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88/EC (1) to be interpreted as precluding national legislation and/or practices under which entitlement to minimum paid annual leave expires at the end of the reference period and/or carry-over period even in the case where the worker has been unfit for work over a prolonged period (and that prolonged period of unfitness for work has the result that that worker could have accumulated entitlement to minimum leave for several years if the possibility of carrying over such entitlement had not been limited in time)? If that question is answered in the negative, must the possibility of carrying over leave entitlement exist for a period of at least 18 months?
