"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I too should like to congratulate the rapporteur on her patient work on a difficult issue. Parliament can debate today, and tomorrow, I hope, it will be able to adopt a report that improves the Commission proposal. It is, as has already been said, a very problematic dossier, because the different countries have very different systems to deal with this matter – they range from situations of all-embracing guarantees to a lack of any kind of protection. I too applaud the Commission’s initiative, which is not a straitjacket restricting autonomy and subsidiarity but comes after 20 years of attempts by employers and workers to reach an agreement. I believe there are three basic objectives of equality of treatment contained in the proposal: equality of treatment for temporary workers compared with other workers in terms of job security and status; respect for established social standards within the user enterprises, through equal treatment in terms of pay and working conditions of temporary workers and other, comparable workers in the user enterprises; and recognition of the work of agencies supplying temporary workers as a legitimate professional activity, removing unnecessary restrictions, authorisations and prohibitions. The purpose of the directive is thus to guarantee and harmonise a common minimum level of protection for temporary workers, without any discrimination. It is a directive that places temporary work within its own part of the labour market, recognising its importance and value without, however, pushing it until it becomes almost the only system for hiring people. I also believe, since Lisbon has been mentioned, that this directive regulates temporary work in a way that brings it qualitatively into line with the Lisbon objectives."@en1
