 The European Union regards less favourable treatment on grounds of pregnancy as unlawful, and the same thing as discrimination on grounds of sex (contrasting to the American case of "Geduldig v. Aiello" and consistent with the American approach in the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978).The European Court of Justice decided in "Dekker v Stichting Vormingscentrum Voor Jonge Volwassen (VJV-Centrum) Plus" that pregnancy discrimination was sex discrimination without any requirement for comparing this unfavourable treatment to a man.It reaffirmed this position in "Webb v EMO Air Cargo (No 2)" where a woman had been dismissed because she had attempted to take pregnancy leave, but had not disclosed this to her employer when hired.
