lpv:spoken text	"It was never going to be easy to satisfy all of the interested parties who have lobbied and worked closely with the Union institutions to bring about amendments to the 1993 directive. This is the new directive, of course, and I am pleased that it has been extended to offshore workers, fishermen and doctors in training. The most contentious part of the directive was bound to relate to doctors in training who would benefit from this piece of legislation. One should recall that the Council had originally proposed an exemption for a period of some 13 years before doctors in training would secure the benefits of the directive. Naturally, Parliament put forward its own proposals to support the right of doctors in training to be covered by this directive after a period of 4 years. Hence the conciliation procedure which you, Mr President, were involved in. But whatever honeyed words are attached to the conclusions of the procedure, the bottom line is that junior doctors will not secure benefits for a period of nine years at least. According to the conclusions of the Conciliation Committee, junior doctors will secure benefits after a transitional period of five years and a four-year transposition period. I fully support the right of junior doctors and doctors in training to secure the benefits of this directive, but the Conciliation Committee conclusions will have reluctantly to be accepted. I would like in conclusion to refer to one small but very important matter, namely that under exceptional circumstances there may be a further extension of two years and indeed up to three years if governments argue that the reduction would cause real administrative difficulties. I do hope that this directive can be implemented sooner rather than later."@en1
