In the European Union, parental leave is regulated by a 1996 Directive, last amended in 2013. The implementation of this Directive varies greatly among Member States and parental leave overlaps other types of leaves granted to families. The European Parliament was expected in May 2016 to call for an evaluation of its implementation and for revision of both the Directive and related legislation. |
