". – The UK delegation of the Labour Party recognises the serious UK Government concern over this directive. It is important to strike a balance between protecting agency workers and avoiding burdens that could stop business engaging them, particularly for short-term assignments.
Temporary Work Agencies make an important contribution to the employment market in the UK and should not be penalised. Increased administrative burdens could lead to increases in costs, which could be passed onto user organisations or cause the closure of the business and job losses.
The EPLP has thus voted against Amendment 42 calling for the deletion of the 6-week derogation from the original Commission proposal. It feels that it is important that at least a 6-week derogation remains in the proposal.
The EPLP voted for Amendment 73 to support comprehensive and effective impact assessments. This helps SMEs.
The EPLP submitted and supported Amendment 71, calling for an extra transition period for the UK. It is therefore necessary that there is an additional period of 3 years, allowing 5 years in total, for this directive to be implemented in the UK and Ireland.
The EPLP has supported this report at first reading but with the strong reservations set out here."@en1
