"In the wake of the economic crisis, funding for labour inspection authorities has been greatly reduced across Europe, yet better inspections would help to ensure that workers’ rights are respected, to create fairer competition in the single market and to boost tax and social-security contributions by reducing the incidence of undeclared work. I supported this report, which proposes measures to improve working conditions in Europe through more effective labour inspections.
We need to tackle the complex subcontracting arrangements that allow workers to be exploited, and the report recommends measures to help inspection authorities to do this by addressing the misuse of agencies and the bogus self-employment which allow workers’ pay to be undercut and lead to social dumping. The report also proposes introducing an electronic social-security card to record important data for workers and reduce levels of undeclared work. I was disappointed, however, that a right-wing majority in Parliament managed to block proposals for a social responsibility clause to be introduced into EU competition rules."@en1
