"In the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs earlier this week I already really let fly at the Commission on one point on the social agenda; the Posting of Workers directive. It is incomprehensible that the evaluation of this directive has not been seized as an opportunity to better assess the problems of cross-border employment of workers and to take new initiatives in this area. Enlargement is just around the corner, and I have already told Commissioner Verheugen and Commissioner Diamantopolou that this transitional period is absolutely not a solution to the problems that enlargement may bring with it. We must pursue a proactive policy and we must create better conditions for active workforce mobility.
My fellow MEP Stephen Hughes has already mentioned the temporary agency workers directive. The impasse we have reached in this area must naturally not be taken as a reason for not doing anything else in areas relating to the situation of non-typical jobs, including in connection with this directive. I am thinking of the position of the self-employed who are not actually self-employed but are in fact employees, for example, and the social security of the non-typical employee. If we do not create a better framework of definitions and labour and social regulations in Europe, this social
will soon only apply to a small minority of employees, and they will not be the ones who need it most!
Finally, a word of warning. I think that if we do not manage to implement this social policy in Europe, a lot of people will turn against Europe."@en1
