 An MEP has urged people in City of London company director roles not to reject new maternity leave proposals because of the potential cost to their businesses.Under the EU plans, mothers will be given 20 weeks of fully-paid maternity leave, an increase from the current minimum requirement of 14 weeks. Some professionals in company director positions have been critical of the plans, with the Forum of Private Business warning that the measure would impose too much financial pressure on firms. But according to Portuguese Socialist MEP Edite Estrela, it would be wrong for a firm's director to disagree with the maternity leave extension on budgetary grounds because the EU will have fully emerged from the effects of recession by the time it is implemented. "We're not legislating for tomorrow, EU member states will have three years to transpose it into national legislation," Ms Estrela explained. She added that it would be surprising if economic conditions were not more favourable than they are at present by this time. Posted by Mary King
