"Madam President, first of all, I would like to thank Regina Bastos for her cooperation on this report and also all of my colleagues who tabled amendments to this report. As shadow rapporteur on behalf of the S&D group, I would like to mention that the achievement of sustainable growth has to be based on an inclusive labour market. Therefore, we underline the necessity of reducing labour market segmentation. We know that sectoral collective agreements normally establish minimum conditions which can be improved by collective bargaining at company level, and that these minimum conditions are essential to protect workers from being exploited.
The Commission proposal on the decentralisation of collective bargaining is not in favour of social partners having the autonomy to decide what the appropriate level for collective agreement is. We call on the Commission to respect and promote this right. We should link the segmentation of the labour market to the simultaneous achievement of a high and adequate level of protection for workers under all forms of contracts, including those on typical temporary agency contracts and workers in economically dependent situations. However, the single open-ended contract proposed by the Commission does not support the principle of equal treatment and, in our opinion, promotes discrimination in the workplace and is not in line with the directive on equal treatment in the workplace.
It is stated in the Treaty and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights that the European institutions have to respect and promote the rights recognised in the Charter. Therefore, I call on the Commission to take into consideration these aspects, and I call on the Members of the European Parliament to support the amendments tabled by the S&D group. Please, Commissioner, take into account what I have said about the single open-ended contract with regard to the rate of youth unemployment."@en1
