Arbetstidsdirektivets (2003/88/EG) regler om dygnsvila och veckovila har visat sig vara komplexa för medlemsstater, som bland annat Sverige, att tolka korrekt. Detta mot bakgrund av att Sverige dömdes för fördragsbrott av EU-domstolen år 2005, på grund av avsaknaden av reglering om dygnsvila i svensk arbetstidslagstiftning. Under det senaste året har en kraftig debatt gällande reglerna om dygnsvilThe thesis discusses the complexity of interpreting and applying the EU Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) in Sweden, particularly the rules on daily rest and weekly rest.
