Udvalget har derudover anerkendt det interessante i Kommissionens skridt, idet denne har søgt ikke at blande sig i tilrettelæggelsen af selve arbejde, da dette er en opgave for virksomheden og arbejdsmarkedets parter, men i det væsentlige har fastsat generelle regler for varigheden af daglige, ugentlige og årlige minimumshvilepauser samt for natarbejde og for eventuelle kontroller.
Is it or is it not true, furthermore, that there is now a pressing need for us to give an answer on essential questions such as health, the widening of the productive base and also a new conception of the relationship between living time and working time? Is it or is it not true, finally, that this claim, which is put forward to us also by the new generations in the countries of a Europe that wants really to be a Community, is the essential condition for the achievement of an advanced, highly-developed Europe?
Da Socialudvalget imidlertid finder teksten for forsigtig, har det søgt at give udtryk for sin vilje til fremskridt ved at gøre opmærksom på, at ILO's internationale konventioner bør overholdes på Fællesskabets område, ved at finde det nødvendigt at erindre om, at udvalget går ind for en fridag i weekenden, især om søndagen, og endelig ved at styrke beskyttelsen af natarbejdere ved at forbeholde dette arbejde for arbejdstagere på over 18 år.
I can also understand observations dictated by a sense of realism, but I do not entirely understand them, all the more so since the Committee on Social Affairs has done a good job in an effort to change a highly partial directive, that was centred on what are in fact secondary aspects, into a more general manoeuvre designed to have an effect on the reduction and restructuring of working time.
Det har fastsat den højeste ugentlige arbejdstid til 48 timer ved at begrænse spillet om uomgængelige dispensationer for de brancher og sektorer, der er under særligt pres, og ved at kræve, at disse afvigel-
For it is not the case that, when we talk about the 35-hour workweek, entrepreneurs throughout Europe say : No ! we cannot introduce that in our own country because it would be too great a blow to our competitiveness; it would only be possible if we did it at European level.

It seems paradoxical even to me that whilst we are able to draw up regulations and directives governing complex questions in the economic field, and to find single solutions for widely differing situations in that field, without departing from the Treaties, when it comes to

wage costs. That is not the only example of socialist Utopia contained in the report.
Udvalget har ikke ment, det var dets opgave at udtale sig om det kildne problem med forbud mod kvinders natarbejde, et forbud der findes i visse lande, og som netop er blevet ophævet i andre.
By seeking harmonization at European level, we are simply increasing the gulf between economies and levels of social protection, the richer states being better able to support the additional burdens.
Udvalget har fundet det rigtigt at fastsætte den årlige ferie til mindst fire uger og har gjort opmærksom på, at tilrettelæggelsen af arbejdet, især af nat- og skifteholdsarbejde, burde diskuteres af arbejdsmarkedets parter.
For one undertaking, for instance, night work will hevital, while there may be no night work at all in another. In seeking to overprotect the employee, you risk jeopardizing the life of the undertaking and, therefore, the livelihood of that same employee, the very person you were seeking to protect.
Hermans, ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder. — (NL) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, Europa-Parlamentet synes at opføre sig som et lunefuldt, stædigt barn.
Of course, if collective bargaining — albeit indispensable — is seen as the only guarantee for ¡.he protection of these new and widespread social needs — well then, there is no way in which we are in agreement!
Velovervejede, sag lige vurderinger og en vis konstanthed i handlingerne som udtryk for modenhed og voksen optræden har det åbenbart endnu ikke opnået.
It has always been the case, in every country — even in my country — that things have worked well when, in addition to the fundamental policy and supporting legislation there has also been collective bargaining.
For nogen tid siden indtog Parlamentet en holdning med hensyn til atypisk arbejde, som virkelig var minimal.
Amendment No 23 on breaks for nightworkers conflicts with Amendment No 17 which lays down the same breaks for day work.
I dag foreligger der en betænkning om tilrettelæggelse af arbejdstid, som er så maksimalistisk, at den ikke kan gennemføres i Belgien, ej heller i Portugal, i Det Forenede Kongerige, i Europa, men hvem ved, måske i utopia.
There is a further contradiction between the compulsory reduction in working hours and the use of volunteers for overtime to compensate for the hours lost.
Utopia er for os en vedvarende stimulans til at forbedre den nuværende også sociale virkelighed. Vi ved imidlertid, at troværdig politisk handlemåde ikke tryller med formler, som ingen kan realisere.
What will happen in the case of night work or breaks if there is a lack of volunteers or opposition from the staff representatives ?
Selv om disse forholdsregler ikke er revolutionære, ville de, hvis de blev vedtaget, klart markere, at Fællesskabet og Europa år 1992 ikke ønsker at blive tumleplads for laisser-faire eller laden-stå-til på det arbejdsretslige område.
LE CHEVALLIER (DR). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Zeller's report on the organization of working time is of particular importance and highly topical.
Vi har fra Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheders side måske afgivet en realistisk udtalelse.
We do, however, approve of the flexibility in working time stated in Amendment No 7.
Vi er imidlertid overbevist om, at der i den sociale lovgivnings realiteter i medlemsstaterne stadig skal gøres et stort stykke arbejde, for at det, som Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder bekymrer sig om, skal kunne reali-
That flexibility is in line with the principle of reducing working time, something that can be done only if there is agreement within the undertaking or professional activity, with a parallel reduction in wages and without disruption to the undertaking.
Ordføreren har mærket sig, at arbejdsmarkedets parter, som har udtalt sig i det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg, ikke selv fulgte denne linie.
If the rapporteur were taking a consistent line, he should have refrained from presenting his report which he no longer considers to be his baby.
Ordføreren tror, at Europa-Parlamentet, når det lovgiver, og i endnu højere grad når det forsøger at påvise betydningen af en europæisk sociallovgivning og at tilkæmpe sig en stærkere lovgivningskompetence på det sociale område, bør være i stand til at prioritere og demonstrere politisk modenhed.
It would, however, appear that the Christian Democrats have too many interests in common with the Socialists to mount a frontal attack, starting with the agreement reached on the presidency of the European Parliament.
Jeg håber, at vore vigtige krav stadig vil blive fastholdt, når Socialudvalgets betænkning er reduceret til realistiske proportioner. Vi nævner: Natarbejde må aldrig betragtes som en tilfældig variant til fleksibel arbejdstid.
To conclude, while certain of the measures may be fair and reasonable, such as the mimimum period of annual leave or the weekend rest period, others are unrealistic and demagogical : the reduction of the working week to thirty-five hours or the prohibition on night work in respect of which our colleagues this evening are in the vanguard of Mr Zeller's struggle, for example.
Natarbejde for mænd og kvinder skal fortsat være en usædvanlig form for arbejdstid og skal underkastes særlige betingelser og beskyttelse af arbejdstagerne. Af sundheds- og familiemæssige årsager skal arbejdstagere kunne skifte til dagarbejde. bejde.
The effects of this maximalist approach are well known: social and wage costs too high for the undertakings to bear — hence the tendency for the undeclared black economy to develop and not only in Italy — and the refusal of senior management to take on workers as they will not be able to lay them off in the event of recession nor, above all, apply the measures proposed by this type of directive without jeopardizing the equilibrium and survial of their undertaking.
Han er overbevist om, at EF's interesse er at undgå den dobbelte fælde, der består i dels at udfærdige sociale EF-regler, der er så slappe, at de bliver ubrugelige, dels at indtage holdninger, som i dag er urealistiske.
If that unrealistic measure were applied, it would deliver Europe into the hands of her external competitors.
Endvidere beder ordføreren kommissæren, om hun vil præcisere Kommissionens filosofi, Rådets chan
The fact is, ladies and gentlemen, that, if adopted, Mr Zeller's report will inevitably prejudice the inter national competitiveness of our countries in Europemost particularly, in the face of Japanese competition.
Den fleksibilitet i virksomhedsledelsen, som virksomheder i stadig højere grad vælger, må også tilpasses arbejdstagernes samfundsmæssige og individuelle behov.
The main result of that measure would be an increase in the selling price of our products — making them less competitive — and an increased deficit in our trade balance.
Jeg citerer her rapporten om beskæftigelsen i Europa i 1990, som Generaldirektoratet for Sociale Anliggender har udgivet.
Finally, it has been shown that reducing working hours does not mean higher levels of employment because of the additional
Dette betyder, at fleksibilitet har grænser.
SANDBÆK (ARC). — (DA) Mr President, in the People's Movement we are in principle in favour of everything that may be good for the workers' conditions and rights.
ligesom jeg selv, at vi når frem til størst mulig enighed. Og dersom dette ikke er muligt ved afstemningen i morgen eller i overmorgen, må det tilstræbe at nå til enighed senere.
One point which we regard as being of major importance is the reduction of working hours.
Vi må holde et bredt handlingsfelt åbent for aftaler mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter gennem kollektive overenskomster.
amendments to the Zeiler report. However, we have no illusions that these proposals will stand the slightest chance of being adopted by the Commission, much less being approved in the Council of Ministers.
Cabezón Alonso (S). — (ES) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, vigtigheden af nærværende direktivforslag fremgår klart ved et enkelt blik på dets indhold og de begreber og forhold, som det tilsigter at regulere: en daglig minimal hvileperiode, ugentlige hvileperioder, årlig ferie, bestemte aspekter ved natarbejde, skifteholdsarbejde, osv.
To conclude, Mr President, I should just like to say that for our part we are ready to see a great consensus in Parliament with a view to strengthening Parliament's position as against the Council and the Commission, but we appeal to the Socialist Group not to accept all the proposals our right-wing Members have made along the lines of reducing worker protection as regards length of working hours, which the report approved by the Committe on Social Affairs aims to provide.
Støtten til dette direktivforslag og resultaterne af de kollektive forhandlinger vil skabe den sociale dimension i det indre marked, som vi er i færd med at opbygge.
In the Nordic pattern all really central questions on the labour market about wages, working hours and pensions are solved by collective bargaining.
Bestræbelserne på at nå frem til fælles definitioner på disse grundlæggende arbejdsmæssige forhold og at fastlægge bestemmelser herfor i fællesskabsperspektiv er efter min mening et af de væsentligste bidrag til at udvikle en social dimension i Fællesskabet siden Det Europæiske Råds vedtagelse af social pagten.
In the People's Movement we have concluded that it has not been possible to introduce the 35-hour working week in Denmark because it would have unfavourable consequences for the organization of production, since the working day could not be suitably adapted to modern production and there would be bottle-neck problems, not to mention the resultant unemployment in many countries of the Community.
Pronk (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil først gerne lige meddele, at jeg også taler for hr. Brok, som først havde meldt sig til i aften, men i øjeblikket desværre er forhindret af anliggender, som vedrører Parlamentets fremtid.
VAN DER WAAL (NI). — (NL) Mr President, the directive on the organization of working time is based on Article 118A of the EEC Treaty. This legal basis immediately indicates the directive's limitation.
Efter min mening bør vi bestræbe os på at få dette direktiv vedtaget i løbet af de kommende måneder, og det ville være rart at kunne regne med en alliance med Kommissionen.
It might appear that we are generally moving away from the normal working day towards greater flexibility on the labour market and, of course, contrary to the wishes of the wage-earner.
Vi bør alle bestræbe os på at nå frem til grundlæggende enighed om væsentlige punkter og se bort fra det, der i den legitime hævdelse af vore politiske holdninger skiller os mest radikalt.
It might very well be thought that this trend would be increased if a 35-hour working week, no matter how well-meant, were to be imposed at the present time.
Jeg vil over for ordføreren udtrykke min store glæde over den betænkning, som han oprindeligt forelagde i Udvalget om Sociale Anliggender, Beskæftigelse og Arbejdsmiljø.
BARROS MOURA (CG). — (PT) Mr President, the report approved by the Committee on Social Affairs is, in our view, a serious and well-balanced proposal to guarantee, at Community level, minimum rules on the organization and resriction of working time, rules which open the door to collective bargaining whilst not closing the door to national measures.
Ordføreren havde udarbejdet en god betænkning.
But the government has only a modest role to play in this.
Hvis vi havde holdt os til den, hvis vi havde fulgt hr. Zeiler, så ville der i dag have været meget færre problemer end på nuværende tidspunkt. Jeg takker ham også for hans bidrag, og jeg tror egentlig, at det var den retning, vi skulle være gået i.
Its most important task is to establish the minimum conditions to be satisfied by working times for the protection of employees.
Retsgrundlaget forekommer os kor rekt, da dette direktivforslag har stor betydning for arbejdstagerne sikkerhed og sundhed.
Moreover, the EC must leave room for differences regarding working time as between Member States and indeed between branches of industry and between undertakings.
Artikel 118 A bør naturligvis fortolkes efter bogstavet, men, som Parlamentet har sagt ved gentagne lejligheder, bør den fortolkes bredt og ikke snævert.
Consequently, the rules drawn up by the EC cannot be more than rough ones.
Der er stillet mange — måske for mange — ændringsforslag til Kommissionens forslag.
Contrary to what I have heard said here, I do not think that the proposals of the Committee on Social Affairs and the Zeiler report conflict with the principle of subsidiarity or the autonomy of the social partners — quite the reverse.
Jeg håber, at der ved afstemningen om disse ændringsforslag i plenarforsamlingen vil vise sig at være flere overensstemmende punkter end indbyrdes afvigende holdninger. Vi skriver nu 1991, tiden går meget hurtigt, og der er endnu lang vej tilbage, før vi har gennemført lovgivningsprogrammet i henhold til socialpagten.
The firm proposal of the Zeiler report, approved by a majority of the Committee on Social Affairs, clearly improves — as was necessary — the Commission proposal which, as has been said here, is rather limited and a step backwards even in comparison with practice in the majority of Member States and which, for good reasons, the European Trade Union Confederation publicly regarded as unacceptable.
Jeg er meget glad for min forgængers ord, som også gik lidt i den retning, som jeg netop angav.
With this as our criterion, we find the Commission's proposal reasonably acceptable.
Jeg tror, at vi i denne forbindelse kan citere en gammel vittighed, som lyder: »Hvad er definitionen på en kamel?
It rightly restricts itself to a system of minimum norms as regards duration of work, rest times, night work and shift work.
En kamel er en hest, som er formgivet af et udvalg.« Vi har her at gøre med et forholdsvis vigtigt, men dog ikke overvældende direktiv. Man kunne sammenligne direktivet med en mus.
These norms do not differ greatly from what is now customary in most of the Member States.
Des værre har vi på grund af den proces, som har fundet sted, nu at gøre med en slags brontosaurus.
In comparison with the national regulations, the Commission's definition is too broad and, we think, needs to be changed.
Problemet er nu: Hvordan ændrer vi denne brontosaurus igen til en mus?
What is particularly important in the Commission's proposal is, I think, Article 12(3).
Jeg kan i øjeblikket ikke rigtig forestille mig det. Vi foreslog sidste gang at henvise sagen til fornyet udvalgsbehandling, men dette for slag blev ikke vedtaget af plenum.
This allows the possibility of deviating from the directive if the social partners decide to do' so in a collective agreement, provided that sufficient compensation is given.
Vi vil derfor heller ikke forelægge dette forslag nu, men det ville måske have været en mulighed.
This rightly underlines once again the social partners' own responsibility.
Socialisterne ønsker fortsat at tilskynde til gennem førelsen af ovennævnte lovgivningsprogram.
One feature that we found to be absent from the Commission's proposal is a provision regarding the position of Sunday as a special day of rest.
Vi havde fået et temmelig godt forslag fra Kommissionen, vi havde en god betænkning, og der er kommet alle mulige ændringsforslag, alle sammen velmente, men som som helhed skaber et produkt, der ikke gavner Parlamentets status. Vi tror, at det er vigtigt under førstebehandlingen, helst
In our view the objectives should be on the one hand to prevent firms, in seeking to be competitive, from launching into headlong competition based on total deregulation of the length, rhythm and organization of work and on the other hand to encourage a certain harmonization in progress.
Pronk tioner på arbejdsmarkedsområder, som vi her har med at gøre, og at man i langt højere grad gennem fører de høringer, som er helt nødvendige.
I know there are certain people on the right of this House who are opposed to this and indeed in my own country they refused even to sign the Social Charter and refused to endorse the social action programme.
Det har man ikke gjort tilstrækkeligt.
All that we have done in the committee is to take on board these two statements and have built on them.
Kommissionen ved godt — og vi ved det — at alt ikke er ensartet i vore medlemslande, og at det derfor heller ikke kan løses med nøje detailbeslutninger truffet af Kommissionen. sionen.
We recognize that there will have to be some give and take as normally takes place in bargaining for wages and hours, where the unions demand so much and the employer gives so much. We are putting down our demands and claims in the Zeiler report.
inden førstebehandlingen, at opnå enighed, en almen politisk aftale om hovedlinjerne i vigtige direktiver.
that there shall on average be one rest-day for every seven-day period is completely inadequate.
Kommissionen kan næppe tage hensyn til den, fordi man ved, at de vigtigste ændringsforslag, som nu vedtages ved simpelt flertal, ikke opnår flertal under andenbehandlingen.
It is there laid down that the weekly rest-day shall as far as possible coincide with the day that is traditionally or customarily recognized as a day of rest in the country concerned.
I Danmark kalder vi subsidiaritetsprincippet for nærhedsprincippet.
For the countries of the EC, that is of course Sunday.
Så ved vi nemlig, hvad det betyder.
The Economic and Social Committee also drew attention to Sundays.
Det er det, vi skal leve op til, også når det drejer sig om beslutninger vedrørende arbejdstidens tilrettelæggelse. telæggelse.
That Committee rightly pointed out that too much work is being done on Sundays for purely economic reasons. In an internal market with keener competition the pressure to work on Sundays is bound to grow.
Derfor er der behov for fleksibilitet vedrørende arbejdstidsregler bl.a. i form af overarbejde, hold drift, weekendarbejde, forskudt arbejdstid m.m.
But it would be important if, in the directive before us, it were clearly stated that Sunday, as the Christian day of rest, as God's day, merited a place apart in the internal market.
Det må vi værne om de steder, hvor det er af stor værdi.
Night work is a necessary evil and must be subject to strict conditions.
Det betyder, at arbejdsmarkedets parters beføjelser nedskæres enormt.
If you look in particular at the number of hours worked in the various Community countries it starts with Denmark where there is a 37.5-hour week and goes up to Portugal which has a 45hour week.
Vi foreslår 35timers arbejdsuge.
This is the statutory working week.
Vi har set, at man kan få arbejdstiden nedsat ved overenskomstforhandlinger.
The United Kingdom was about halfway down the league table.
Det har vist sig f.eks. i Belgien, Tyskland, Nederlandene og også i en række andre lande, men man kan ikke gøre det gennem én stor lovgivning. Hvad man dog kan gøre, er at fastsætte et generelt maksimum for at beskytte menneskers egen sundhed. Alle medlemsstater har gjort det.
If you look at the limit in many of the European countries in the Community you find that the working week in France is limited to 39 hours, in Belgium to 40 hours, in Greece, Luxembourg and Spain it is also 40 hours, in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands it is 48 hours.
Det er godt, at vi forsøger at gøre dette sammen, men man må ikke gribe ind i lønautonomien, man må ikke henføre enorme udgifter, som på en eller anden måde igen tages med i beregningen, og man må eller ikke henføre andre sociale ønsker, som ikke hører hjemme her, under dette kapitel.
These are some of the reasons why we understand the opposition that we are getting from certain sections of this House and from certain columnists and regular contributors to the Guardian and elsewhere.
Vi har også i Fællesskabet sektorer, som f.eks. er totalt atypiske for dette direktiv, nemlig arbejde om bord i skibe samt på olieboreplatforme.
Finally, the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment has in its report adopted a large number of drastic amendments to the Commission's directive.
Her befinder man sig nemlig alle døgnets fireogtyve timer uden at kunne tage hjem fra arbejde.
Examples of this are the obligation to introduce a 35-hour work-week in the EC in 1994 and in principle to forbid night work.
Det er nøgne kendsgerninger, og lad os dog erkende det og fritage noget så åbenlyst fra dette direktiv og i stedet lave et specielt direktiv herfor.
So we agree with the rapporteur that this and various other amendments completely overlook the great economic, legal and cultural differences between the Member States and are therefore unrealistic.
Det er tilfældet i mit land, også i Tyskland og Storbritannien, og det må fortsat være sådan.
So we know the motives behind those who are coming here and calling us in the Committee on Social Affairs idealists.
Det er stadig en familiedag.
I welcome the report.
Det er en dag, som udgør et hvilepunkt i vort stadig uroligere samfund.
I welcome the opportunity to engage in dialogue with the Commission.
Socialudvalgets socialistiske flertal har totalt set væk fra realiteternes verden.
FRIEDRICH (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, of course I cannot agree with the preceding speaker.
