According to Articles 16(2) and 17 of the Directive, the reference period over which the average is to be
calculated may vary between 4 and 12 months depending on the situation and the means by which the
reference period is laid down.

These provisions must be implemented into national law by the Member States. It is for the Member
States(cid:146) authorities to ensure that national legislation implementing Community law is applied and enforced.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1242/00

by Elizabeth Lynne (ELDR) to the Commission

(14 April 2000)

Subject: Teachers and the working time directive

Would the Commission please specify that teachers are covered under the Working Time Directive? Could
the Commission give details regarding the provisions of the Working Time Directive in the educational
sector in the UK?

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(8 June 2000)

Article 1(3) of Council Directive 93/104/EC concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time
((cid:145)working time directive(cid:146)) (1) states that (cid:145)This Directive shall apply to all sectors of activity, both public and
private, within the meaning of Article 2 of Directive 89/391/EC, without prejudice to Article 17 of this
Directive, with the exception of air, rail, road, sea, inland waterway and lake transport, sea fishing, other
work at sea and the activities of doctors in training.(cid:146)

According to Article 2 of Council Directive 89/391/EC on the introduction of measures to encourage
improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (2), this Directive shall apply to all sectors of
activity, both public and private (industrial, agricultural, commercial, administrative, service, educational,
cultural, leisure, etc.). This Directive shall not be applicable where characteristics peculiar to certain specific
public service activities, such as the armed forces or the police, or to certain specific activities in the civil
protection services inevitably conflict with it. In that event, the safety and health of workers must be
ensured as far as possible in the light of the objectives of this Directive.

On the basis of these two provisions, it is clear that the working time Directive applies to the work of
teachers.

According to information available to the Commission, the Working Time Regulations 1998 (Statutory
Instruments 1998 No 1833), which implement the working time Directive in the United Kingdom, apply
to the work of teachers.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1088/00

by Antonio Tajani (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Trial of 13 Iranian Jews by the Iranian authorities

(7 April 2000)

The Iranian authorities have announced that 13 Iranian Jews from the city of Shiraz will be brought to
trial on 13 April this year. They are accused of spying for the (cid:145)Zionist regime(cid:146) and the United States and of
(cid:145)arrogance on a worldwide scale(cid:146).

Israel and the United States have categorically denied any links with the accused. Nevertheless, not least on
the basis of similar cases in the past, it is extremely likely that the Teheran court will sentence them to
death.

What steps will the Commission take to ensure respect for fundamental human rights and guarantee that
the trial is conducted in a proper manner, in view of the fact that the conditions under which the accused
are being detained and will be tried do not meet the minimum standards required to ensure that justice is
done?

Can the Commission prevail upon the Teheran government to authorise the presence of observers from
the Commission or the European Parliament to ascertain respect for and actual compliance with the right
of defence and ensure that the trial is fair and just?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1209/00

Subject: Persecution of 13 Iranians of the Jewish faith in Iran

(14 April 2000)

For approximately one year, 13 Iranians of the Jewish faith have been imprisoned without trial on charges
of spying and have been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment on a daily basis. The latest reports
indicate that most of them are not being allowed to choose a lawyer to defend them at their trial, which is
scheduled for 13 April. In the light of the (cid:145)critical dialogue(cid:146) that has been initiated between the Union and
Iran, will the Commission say what measures it will take to obtain guarantees of a fair and open trial and
the safeguarding of the right to choose a defence lawyer?

Subject: Legal guarantees and human rights of a group of Jewish Iranian citizens

On various occasions the European Parliament (which adopted a resolution on the matter in September
1999) and the media have considered the possibility that a group of Iranian Jews accused of spying may
face trial on charges carrying a possible death sentence. Will the Commission give details of any measures
that have been taken and initiatives it could adopt to ensure respect for human rights and, in particular, a
fair trial for these citizens?
