| EU maternity law 'must not result in new costs for UK businesses' |
| The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has warned of the potential cost impact of possible EU changes to maternity benefits.

"The Pregnant Workers Directive should be about setting minimum EU standards for the health and safety of pregnant workers - not adding new payroll costs for overburdened companies and national social security systems.
"This vote introduces complexity and uncertainty, which are totally unnecessary, as the UK and other EU countries already have well-developed national maternity pay systems.
