"Mr President, it is, of course, important to ensure that companies are working within the law and that employees are not being unfairly – or unknowingly – exploited by their bosses. This requires effective inspection and policing.
I am therefore pleased that the Steinruck report has emphasised the need to introduce new measures which challenge poor labour conditions. I should note, as does the report, that there are certain groups of people who are most vulnerable. In my London constituency some of the migrant communities, in particular, have certainly been exploited by unscrupulous employers.
However, despite its good intentions, there are aspects of the report which seek to undermine the competencies that individual Member States already enjoy in the area of labour inspections, aspects which forced me and many of my Conservative colleagues to vote against the report. As an example, I would point to the proposed establishment, within the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), of a European platform for labour inspections on undeclared work, which really offers minimal improvement. These are matters which should be left to the Member States to police."@en1
