      Article 1(1), first subparagraph, (a) of Directive 98/59 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies must be interpreted in the sense that, with a view to determining whether a contested individual dismissal forms part of an instance of collective redundancy, the reference period laid down in that provision for determining the existence of collective redundancies must be calculated taking into account any period of 30 or 90 consecutive days during which that individual dismissal occurred and during which the largest number of dismissals were effected by the employer for one or more reasons not related to the individual worker concerned, within the meaning of that provision.
