lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, this is an important report and I want to thank Ms Zuber for her work on this issue. For too long, domestic work has been undervalued and invisible, a little bit like the work of carers. I suppose it is mainly for historic reasons, because this work was carried out mainly by women and girls and in most cases behind the closed doors of private homes. More and more of this work is now being carried out by migrants, and of course those who have fewer opportunities, and many of these workers find themselves in very vulnerable positions. That is why this resolution is so important. We need to ensure that domestic workers have access to information on their conditions of employment and, where possible, a possible written contract. We need to ensure weekly rest periods. We do so for lorry drivers to ensure health and safety on our roads. We should do the same for domestic workers, to ensure their health and safety. Ms Zuber raises an important issue: that of trafficking. The full implementation of this convention would help to counteract the practice of modern-day slavery. It is also worth noting that opportunities in the care sector will increase in forthcoming years as the population ages and there is a greater need for personal care. Finally, Commissioner Andor said that the implementation of this Convention is in line with the EU commitment to decent work and it is in line with the EU commitment to combating trafficking. While it is up to Member States to ratify, I believe a strong message from this Parliament would help in that process."@en1
