lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Hughes, the fact that sound reports are being produced is excellent, in my view. I particularly endorse Mr Hughes’ report. I have heard him say once that in his opinion the analysis in the Commission communication was solid, but the actual detailing of it left something to be desired. I think I saw this in the EU reports today. In my view, the analysis is satisfactory, but certainly not solid, for the simple reason that there are far better practices in Europe than those described in this document. I am particularly concerned with the element of well-being at work. After all, legislation on health and safety at work is solid legislation. It is about vibrations, noise, and so on. Extensive research has been done in the Netherlands, for example, as to how well-being at work should be interpreted. This covers aspects that involve organisations, and aspects that can also have repercussions at a later date in the form of repetitive strain injury stress or numerous other forms of non-well-being. A number of these elements have been mentioned in the Commission’s document in connection with investing in quality, but this aspect came to an abrupt end with the indicators that were developed afterwards by the Belgians. It is regrettable that this area is not further elaborated upon, as the proposals are actually a kind of odd collection of various points. The clinical pictures and problems concerning well-being have been known for a long time, and yet no date has yet been set for these proposals. So once again, I endorse Mr Hughes' description of the problems, and I also hope that he may have the moral fibre to withdraw his report if the Commission is not committed to solving the problems surrounding the reduction in staffing levels, the balance between legislative and non-legislative measures – which, in my view, is still wanting – and, above all, the lack of an action plan with a timeframe to back it up."@en1
