lpv:translated text	". It is a fact that man’s strength and capabilities are limited. Working times may be harmful to the physical and the mental health of both individuals and families, which is why working times need to be organised so that the safety and health of workers are not put at risk. However, 7 million workers in the EU, in transport and fisheries and doctors in training are exempted from Directive 104/93/ΕC on the organisation of working time. This intolerable situation and the abuse of workers in the above specialist sectors as regards their working times is of a nature and is taking on dimensions which are such that rules must be imposed without delay, given that workers such as doctors in training in Great Britain work up to 72 hours a week. Extending the directive is essential, but it is not enough. The provisions proposed will be unable to protect the safety and health of workers effectively, given that there are still numerous exemptions and long transitional periods for implementing the directive. We must also bear in mind that the original directive did not stipulate the length of a working day (it stipulated a working week of 48 hours – an implied violation of the measure)."@en1
