"I voted against the resolution on the Commission’s legislative programme for 2009 because it took over draft amendments requiring new legislation in the social sphere.
Since the social sphere falls almost exclusively within the competence of the Member States, our group rejected the amendment of the Directive on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, the minimum standards concerning the unfair dismissal of individual workers, the protection of workers with untypical employment contracts and the improvement of working conditions and reduction of the number of accidents at work.
Matters of legal protection against discrimination differ between Member States, in particular with respect to reproductive rights, the traditional family, education and religion. Our political group therefore considers it necessary in this matter to retain the principle of subsidiarity whereby each Member State is entitled to apply these principles in accordance with its national traditions and customs.
The question of Turkey’s accession to the EU is also a sensitive matter in our political group, many of the members being German and French conservatives."@en1
