lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr Cercas, working time is an extremely sensitive issue. The reasons for this include the scourge of unemployment and the economic problems faced by employers, particularly in the new Member States. A few days ago I was astonished to find that people in Poland were able to go shopping in Ikea until 8 p.m. on 1 May, which was not only Labour Day, but also a Sunday. Supermarkets frequently stay open until 10 p.m. on weekdays, and sometimes even round the clock. The threat of job losses and the shaky state of our economies make it hard to know whether one should support employer or employee groups, the positions of which are inherently opposed. It is for this reason that I regard Mr Cercas’ report and the amendments by the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs as a sensible compromise, and one aimed at improving people’s overall wellbeing. On-call time in the workplace should be regarded as working time, and employees should be paid a flat rate for on-call time outside the workplace. There are certain issues that need to be regulated jointly in the EU, and working time is one of them."@en1
