Point 1 of Article 2 of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time must be interpreted as meaning that the time spent on outward and return journeys, which workers are required to take as a group at a time specified by their employer and in a vehicle belonging to that employer, in order to travel from a specific place, determined by that employer, to the place where the essential work under the contract of employment concluded between those workers and that employer is performed, must be regarded as ‘working time’ within the meaning of that provision.
