"Mr President, I am not certain I can follow the eloquence of Mr Fatuzzo in my explanation of vote.
First, however, whilst nobody in this House is opposed to the proper control of the working time of all those employed within the European Union, it is equally important that a certain flexibility be allowed. The purpose of the amendments that I tabled, and some of the proposals I supported, was to ensure that this flexibility would be there, that there would not necessarily be a renationalisation of the rules regarding working time, but that there would be flexibility within the system to ensure that seasonal workers and other people who chose to work longer hours would be entitled to do so, rather than being regulated against. Even though some of those amendments did not get through, I still support the report and congratulate the rapporteur on it.
On a further procedural point, I think an error was made with regard to allowing the oral amendment to Amendment No 26. My Amendment No 26 sought to delete a certain paragraph, whereas the oral amendment related to adding something on to that paragraph from the original text. I would ask that you or your services look at that and that it be put on record. Whilst I know we cannot change the vote on that issue, it should be put on record that an error was made."@en1
