lpv:translated text	"Mr President, although we must have a European viewpoint, we are inevitably influenced by the situation in each of our countries. Specifically, in my own country, temporary work agencies – or at least some of these companies – are factories for insecure work. At the moment, in Spain, 33% of this work is insecure, more than double the European average, which stands at 13%. We therefore have difficulties with some of the amendments which my colleague, Ilda Figueiredo, has already mentioned in that they may possibly lead to discrimination. The rapporteur herself, in the explanatory statement, says that she is not very happy with those amendments that jeopardise the principle of non-discrimination. In the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market, although it points out that these companies have contributed to improving the labour market, it is also stated that these companies, in certain countries of the European Union, employ illegal workers, and that they regularly violate the rights of workers. Therefore, as my colleague has already pointed out, if certain amendments mentioned are approved, it will be difficult for us to vote in favour of the report. At the Lisbon Council, there was discussion of the quality of work and employment rights. We are therefore tabling certain amendments - I am not sure if they are having much luck - inspired by a principle laid out in one of them: we advocate that this directive should be aimed at improving the quality of temporary work, guaranteeing respect for the principle of non-discrimination. That is what we are advocating, pure and simple. And we will support the rapporteur provided that certain amendments by the honourable Members seated opposite are not approved."@en1
