". – Mr President, I think we all agree that God has no employees and there are no labour market rules in our holy books. Of course, He has left us the task of organising our labour market and of course clergymen have their civil and social rights.
I would like to make two points. The first one concerns the definition of employees. This is a very difficult and sensitive issue, and we know that in the majority of directives the Member States are left to define what employees are. There are many problems, and, as Mr Hughes has already said, we are moving forward with amendments to two directives in order to define, in a more effective way, the protection of employees and the definition of an employee.
I would like to refer to the questions mentioned in Lord Stockton's report. We have carried out a new study which concerns economically-dependent workers, and a public hearing will be organised with the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. We believe that after this discussion and after the report, the Commission could draw some new conclusions in the light of the results. This is why I believe that there is always an opportunity after an individual case to move forward and to take into account the particular needs of groups of workers across Europe."@en1
