"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, no to the 60-hour week, the opt-out must disappear. It is without any hesitation whatsoever that I endorse the text presented by Mr Cercas.
I will support it first of all by referring to the good sense that demands that we work to live and not the reverse. Good sense alone will tell us that, with the exception of jobs clearly demanded by those who carry them out, the reality of working 60 hours per week - or worse still, 63 hours with the authorisation granted in 1993 – as is the case in certain countries in the European Union, will pose problems in terms of adapting to one’s personal, family and social environment in the long run.
In the social field, as in that of politics, progress gives way to compromise. The desire to extend the practice of 60 or 65 hours of working time is at odds with social progress. In this regard, the opt-out must disappear."@en1
