"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I voted in favour of Mr Lehtinen’s report on the social responsibility of subcontracting undertakings in production chains.
I agree with the rapporteur that subcontracting has reached very high levels in the European Union, which has given rise to various problems linked, for example, to the legal implications for employers and workers and difficulties in verifying compliance with fiscal and social security responsibilities.
I thus share the rapporteur’s view that it would be advisable to adopt a system of ‘joint liability’ at European level, under which the main contractor would be encouraged to check that subcontractors comply with relevant legislation. This would also help to tackle the grey economy by preventing unfair competition on the part of businesses paying their workers at a rate less than the minimum rate of pay."@en1
