"Mr President, Ms Attwooll said that the rapporteur had been inclusive in carrying out this report. I would like to go further and say that strenuous efforts were made to understand the situation in some of the highest concentrations of agency workers anywhere in the European Union. For example, in my own region of London we have cleaners, nurses, IT specialists and now, crucially, manufacturing workers, many of whom Mr Harbour would have been referring to earlier.
The situation now is a classic contrast between flexibility and protection. There is a need to understand the situation in countries where there is a less-developed temporary agency worker regulation. That is why I welcome amendments like Amendment No 71, through the efforts of the rapporteurs and others to understand that situation. We are not at extremes in this area. We are in a situation where there is evidence that those vulnerable workers looking to us for protection require that protection and good agency employers require growth and flexibility. It is a balance which should be struck. We want to find that balance. As Mr Hughes said, we are at the beginning of that process. Let us shape a directive that strikes that vital balance."@en1
