      Re:
   
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal Supremo — Interpretation of Article 7(1) of European Parliament and Council Directive 2003/88/EC of 4 November 2003, concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time (OJ L 299, p. 9) — Leave coincides with periods of temporary incapacity for work during periods of sick leave — National regulations do not allow the interruption of paid annual leave and its subsequent recovery in its entirety or for the remaining period
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time must be interpreted as precluding national provisions under which a worker who becomes unfit for work during a period of paid annual leave is not entitled subsequently to the paid annual leave which coincided with the period of unfitness for work.
