"We have chosen to abstain from voting on the overall report. We believe that implementation of the directive in Denmark – characterised as inadequate by the Commission – would undermine the Danish system of agreements in the long term. Denmark had chosen to implement the directive on the basis of the collective agreements and so hand the matter over to the two sides of industry. Because, following pressure from the Commission, the directive is, however, shortly to be elevated to the status of law in Denmark, we can only express our dissatisfaction with the Commission’s interference in a system that operates well.
We nonetheless support the general improvements proposed by the report, including more precise definitions of concepts, for the wordings of quite a few definitions have led to misinterpretations during the implementation of the directive. It is important that the text should be clarified in many areas so that employees’ rights are protected and there is improved health and safety in the workplace."@en1
