"Ms Turunen, I confirm that the European Commission will honour the commitment that it made, and which President Barroso has reiterated, to present all of the 12 key proposals by the end of this year. Indeed, a number of them have already been presented. Some are even at a very advanced stage. Earlier, I talked about the European patent. We presented it more than a year ago now, and it may come to fruition, I hope, under the Polish Presidency, with a political agreement in the Council.
I would also add, to be completely objective, that, in addition to the 12 key proposals that we pledged to present by the end of this year, we are making progress on the other additional proposals, Ms Turunen. I would cite the example, under the watchful eye of Ms Kroes, of the additional proposal on roaming, which was, in fact, a specific request of many MEPs. Ms Kroes has not waited until next year. She has already presented this proposal, which is one of the additional proposals for the Single Market Act.
On the posting of workers, the aim of the new directive that you mentioned will be to harmonise the implementation, under the authority of my colleague, Mr Andor, of the directive on the protection of posted workers. At the same time, we want to eliminate the unjustifiable obstacles to the freedom to provide services. We want to ensure the proper protection of workers while improving the functioning of the internal market. This proposal will contain provisions on administrative cooperation, access to information for posted workers, the prevention of abuse and circumvention – we know that they exist – monitoring instruments, penalties and judicial remedies.
The directive that I just mentioned, for the implementation of the Posting of Workers Directive, will seek to ensure that it is applied better in practice. We think that the primary objective of this instrument will be to improve the information that is due to workers and businesses, to improve administrative cooperation so as to increase the effectiveness of checks, and once again, to prevent abuse, which we know exists. Our aim is not to overturn the case-law of the Court of Justice on this point, but we are going to draft this directive so as to improve the implementation of the Posting of Workers Directive."@en1
