"Mr President, this initiative by the Commission – and the Commissioner in particular – on a proposal for a directive to supplement the other two directives on atypical employment deserves our support, and Mrs van den Burg, who has tried to retain the spirit of the directive in the face of huge reaction, of course deserves our congratulations. Mr Harbour has reminded me of our confrontation but I can assure him that our confrontations are always exciting. Amendment No 87, part two, and more importantly Amendment No 86, should not be adopted because they abolish every safety valve accepted by the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. If they are accepted as they stand, workers will not in most cases receive the same wages as workers in the user company. I do not know whether or not this was an oversight, but may I point out that our committee's Amendment No 40, which relates to Article 5, paragraph 2, stating that Member States shall take appropriate measures with a view to preventing misuse, is deleted under Amendment No 86. Amendment No 87 gives Member States the right, wherever derogations are allowed, to pass laws allowing new derogations and, more to the point, the same working conditions as those which would apply to a comparable temporary agency worker. Where is the balance between flexibility and balance and where is the protection for economic competition on the internal market?"@en1
