"Mr President, the directives of the European Union and the laws in the Member States on the eight-hour day and reactionary restructurings in general are creating mediaeval working conditions, provoking anger among and demonstrations by the workers. The European Commission is flooded daily with protests by angry farmers and indignant workers.
For example, the working times for airline cabin crews and pilots, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1899/2006, exceed 14 hours’ work a day, thereby endangering the lives of workers and passengers, as proven by numerous scientific studies.
The European Union refuses to take account of the scientific studies, because it is obeying the orders of the monopoly business groups which refuse to sacrifice even a single euro of their profits for the health of workers and in-flight safety.
We are calling for airline pilots’ and cabin crews’ working times to be reduced and for workers’ just demands to be satisfied. Moreover, the European Commission has a commitment both towards the European Parliament and towards the workers."@en1
