"Mr President, I too am new. I shall stand up anyway, although I am far too tall for this device.
First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for the work he has done. What did occur to me, however, even as a new Member, was that the original proposals have been toned down quite considerably and that he is actually deeply regretful, despite what has been achieved.
Unfortunately, the need for this type of directive is underlined regularly, and especially the fact that it is an evolving process. In the Netherlands, for example, there have been a number of explosions at the same factories year after year, caused by dust. The knowledge as to how exactly this happened is lacking.
Another repercussion is that repair activities are carried out by hired companies. As a result, the overall business layout is unclear, especially to these temporary staff. This is exactly why it is important to characterise and classify companies, workstations and suchlike effectively, and to divide these into areas, etc. This is included in the proposal.
It is, however, a cause for great concern that, although there are minimum directives, no obligations have been laid down pursuant to the guide we discussed, let alone the provisions to be included therein. I would therefore ask the Commissioner how the new practices will be developed technically and how the effects of hiring temporary staff will be dealt with. In other words, have an evolving process but still ensure that there are substantial obligations in respect of minimum directives."@en1
