      Question referred
   
   Do the provisions of Clause 1 and Clause 2, paragraph 4, of the framework agreement concluded on 14 December 1995 by the general cross-industry organisations, UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC, on parental leave, contained in the Annex to Council Directive 96/34/EC (1) of 3 June 1996 on the framework agreement on parental leave concluded by UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC, preclude the protective award which is payable to the worker who was bound to his employer by a full-time employment contract of indefinite duration, and whose employment contract is terminated unilaterally by that employer without urgent cause or sufficient ground during a period of reduction of working hours, on the grounds of the taking of parental leave, by 20 % or 50 %, from being calculated with reference to the salary payable during that period of reduction, where the same worker would be entitled to a protective award calculated by reference to the full-time salary if he had reduced his working hours by 100 %[?]
