    Conclusion
     
    53. Accordingly, for the reasons that I have given I suggest that the Court should answer only the first question referred by the Oberster Gerichtshof, Austria, in the following terms:
     
    It is appropriate, within the meaning of Clause 4.2 of the Framework Agreement annexed to Council Directive 97/81/EC concerning the Framework Agreement on part-time work concluded by UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC, to apply the principle of pro rata temporis to a dependent child allowance provided for in a collective agreement, where there is no statutory obligation on the parties to make provision for such an allowance.
