translate English to French: We fear that by extending the scope of the directive, the way is being prepared for the directive to be amended as a whole. This would be unfortunate as it would provide even greater opportunities to manipulate working time.
Nous craignons que, sous prétexte d'élargir le champ d'application de la directive, on n'en vienne en fait à dénaturer l'ensemble de celle-ci en multipliant encore les possibilités d'aménagement.
