"I am intrigued by your replies, Commissioner. Firstly you say that a lot of your evidence is based on what CIETT has said to you. Certainly CIETT have said to me that they are appalled by this directive, and I will be having further conversations with them on the basis of your reply today.
You also say how temporary work is flourishing in the Netherlands. My information is that the temporary work sector in the Netherlands has declined since their domestic law changed. The Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers, the VNO-NCW, wants to reintroduce flexibility. It has had several meetings with me asking whether I can get further support for my amendments in that respect.
You say that the directive is based upon all available information. Last week, Birmingham City Council, one of the major local authorities – not just in my region but in the whole of Europe – said that it will be reviewing its use of temps which currently cost EUR 20 million per year. We are talking about thousands of jobs. The reason for its review is your directive. In the light of this latest evidence, will you agree to review once again this damaging directive before it does more damage to employment prospects throughout the European Union?"@en1
