lpv:translated text	"My Group eventually accepted the compromise reached by the Conciliation Committee to apply the working time directive to the excluded sectors. It is now crucial that these sectors can, at long last, look forward to a regulation so that they too come under the scope of the directive. We struggle greatly with the long transitional periods for the junior doctors sector. After the directive enters into force, the Member States have a total of nine years before they are obliged to have transposed the directive into national legislation. Under certain conditions, this period can be extended by another two or three years. Needless to say, we feel for the many Member States which struggle with inadequate staffing levels in their health sector. However, the Member States have known for a long time that they will need to adapt to the working times directive in the long run. It looks very much like this serious problem has been shelved, as a result of which, in our opinion, the arguments used to support the long transitional periods do not so much signify powerlessness as unwillingness. In the light of the above, when this directive and the ensuing national legislation is implemented, close monitoring will be required to ensure that the weekly working hours for junior doctors meet the statutory standards."@en1
