Temporary employment agencies employ some three million people in the European Union. They are estimated to provide services valued at EUR 75 billion.
The draft directive on conditions for temporary agency workers aims to provide a minimum level of protection for temporary workers while, at the same time, supporting the temporary employment industry. It has become an example of social legislation at a time of widespread anticipation of a social Europe.
The main basis of this legislative act is non-discrimination against agency workers in terms of payment, social and employee rights and applicable legislation.
There will also be no discrimination as regards working time, overtime, holidays and protection for pregnant women.
One very important aspect of the directive is that temporary agency workers are now covered right from day one. Any derogations from this principle must always be discussed with the social partners.
There is no doubt that there are at present huge differences in working conditions and payment for temporary workers. These differences must be ironed out as quickly as possible.
On the grounds stated above, in the voting I have opted for the adoption of the regulations to protect such workers as soon as possible."@en1
