Rådets fælles holdning imødekommer ikke på alle punkter den europæiske fagbevægelses målsætninger.
I should just like to describe the circumstances of workers who come to Germany from the United Kingdom, Portugal or the countries of Eastern Europe.
Især undtagelserne svækker direktivet, og gør det vanskeligt at anvende det.
They earn between DM 5 and DM 8 per hour, and live in shacks or porta cabins in very cramped conditions.
Det tredje punkt, hvor der gives muligheder for undtagelser på grund arbejdets ringe omfang, er i sin ordlyd uklart.
Since they cannot afford to eat in restaurants, they live on bread and sausage, just so that they have some money left to take home to their families.
Det kan føre til en yderst forskellig anvendelsespraksis i de enkelte medlemslande.
What about their human dignity, I ask myself?
Da det første undtagelsespunkt allerede gør det muligt at træffe afgørelser på nationalt plan om den fremgangsmåde, der skal følges for arbejdsforhold af en måneds eller kortere varighed, kan man spørge sig selv, om dette ikke er tilstrækkeligt dækkende for de tilfælde, hvor det udførte arbejde er af begrænset varighed.
Correia (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, this Directive, by giving the European Union a legal base so that wage dumping in all Member States can be fought, is aimed at ending discrimination and exploitation to which thousands of workers are subjected, Portuguese workers in particular, when they are posted in other Community countries; more important still is to restore the respect and dignity to which workers are entitled and not allowing international com pany competition to exist at the cost of workers.
Det har været diskuteret i Rådet af socialministre. Hele seks gange har spørgsmålet været på dagsordenen.
In my view, workers within and outside the EU must at last be placed on an equal footing.
Til trods for denne kritik er det vigtigt, at direktivet trods sine mangler vedtages.
What is more, no one mentions the fact that these practices distort competition.
Det kan bruges til at befæste arbejdsbetingelserne, der gælder for udstationerede ar bejdstagere i en række lande, og det forebygger også, at arbejdstagere fra tredjelande underbyder deres arbejdskraft til dumpingpris i hele EU.
Certain EU countries have already introduced excellent counter-measures; others are filling their coffers because they have not yet passed any such legislation.
Jeg takker ordfører Peter for hans arbejde, og jeg håber, at Rådet hurtigt lader direktivet træde i kraft.
At the same time, it would be clamping down on economic crime and the social abuses connected with these practices.
Wolf (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, vi er nu temmelig alene her.
I believe that this directive will brook no delay.
Jeg kan for det første absolut tilslutte mig det, hr. Peter og hr. Hughes har sagt.
I therefore agree with Mr Peter that neither positive nor negative amendments should be accepted.
Da jeg tilhører De Grønne, har jeg endnu et par problemer at supplere med. For det første er der naturligvis problemet med undtagel
We shall reject them all, because we should not hold up the directive any longer and give the Council an opportunity to stall things once again.
Danmark er jo kendt for flere ting i EU-sammenhænge, og herunder bl.a., at der i Danmark er klare grænser for, hvad der er aftalestof mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter, og hvad der er egenüigt lovstof.
I should like to point out that approving the common position justifies the fight of trade unions at a European level and the main trade unions of the countries most concerned. But there is always a but.
Der hersker en bekymring blandt dele af arbejdsgiverne og arbejdstagerne i Danmark for direktiver i bred almindelighed og for dette direktiv i særdeleshed.
This Directive, although it is more demanding on the civil construction sector, discriminates in some way against other sectors of employment.
Det er jo sådan, at hver gang et EU-direktiv skal implementeres, går der noget fra retten til fri forhandling, idet der aldrig sker en 100 % implementering ad forhandlingens vej.
Finally, defining collective bargaining or arbitration decisions in the way in which they are formulated might not ensure equal treatment between national companies and foreign ones offering the same service.
Det ser imidlertid ud til, at Rådet i sin afgørelse har taget forbehold for dette.
I am most grateful to my colleague Mr Peter and to the Commissioner for having set the ball rolling.
Men hvordan ser det ud med de andre brancher?
I would just say a further word about media interest.
De problemer, der efter vores opfattelse kan opstå for de andre brancher, har direktivet ikke taget højde for. I den
If we had been discussing the European limited company, there would have been several television crews in the gallery.
Crepaz (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, vi har i dag allerede hørt, at vi har måttet vente længe på, at Rådet skulle beslutte sig for en fælles holdning til det såkaldte udstationeringsdirektiv.
that, through these measures, we might practise discrimination against Portuguese companiesv operating in the common market and far less could we accept that identical measures should not be applied to companies based in third countries.
Ordføreren, hr. Peter, fastholder i sin betænkning, at Parlamentet i det væsentlige har hævdet sig i drøftelserne om Kommissionens ændrede forslag og den fælles hold ning. Det er vigtigt.
We also must complain about the very long time which has lapsed since the presentation of the first Directive proposal and this present proposal, which has led to a six year delay in the adoption of vital measures to fight social dumping in the Community's Single Market.
Netop i sociale spørgsmål er vi, Europa-Parlamentet, Unionens motor.
Perhaps the analysis of that report might justify our concerns.
konkrete betænkning af hr. Peter anføres det, at karensperioden er afskaffet, og så nævnes der visse forbehold.
There is very strong support here in the House for the common position adopted 6y the Council on 3 June on the proposal for a directive on the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services.
Vi må så stille det spørgsmål: Er det ikke en anden måde at sige, at der stadig væk er en karenstid på op til en måned?
Indeed, Mr Konrad, I think it was your thought that was behind us all, in seeking finally to put this to bed.
Og vi vil også gerne pointere, at den rolle, som er tiltænkt staten i dette spil, er et indgreb i den fri forhandlingsret mellem de to parter i Danmark.
That was the question about protecting freedom of movement as a fundamental right and pillar of the European Union and also, as Mr Peter said, to prevent wage dumping, social dumping and all classes of dumping.
Det hedder endvidere i punkt 3: »Generelt kan medlemsstaterne fra vige kravet om mindste antal betalte feriedage pr. år og mindsteløn, hvis arbejdet er af »ringe omfang«.« Er det værtslandet eller hjemlandet, der skal definere, hvad der er »ringe omfang«?
I would certainly like to thank Mr Hughes and his colleagues, who set out the value added of this particular proposal and I also think it is appropriate to say thank you to the President-in-Office at the time, Mr Treu, who worked very hard to convince the rest of his colleagues that the final compromise should be put in place.
Hr. Peters udmærkede betænkning er det bedste eksempel på det. Betænkningen giver ikke Rådet noget påskud til at forsinke direktivets ikrafttræden yderligere.
In approving this particular common position you will of course be opening up the door to a very rapid definitive adoption of the directive.
Jeg håber, udstationeringsdirektivets ikrafttræden sender et socialt signal, der ikke overhøres af befolkningen i Unionen.
I would also congratulate you on the improvements that you have made to the original proposal for the directive, throughout the adoption procedure.
Jeg håber, direktivet vil bidrage til, at den megen omtalte europæiske sociale union igen vinder noget i troværdighed.
One of the Members said it was discussed at six social affairs Council meetings; I think I counted nearly eight where this was being talked about.
Jeg vil gerne på dette sted komme lidt nøjere ind på selve det problem, der har nødvendiggjort udarbejdelsen og installeringen af et udstationeringsdirektiv.
The main cause of the wage and social dumping which is evident in some of the socalled high-wage countries is in fact the alarming rise in illegal terms of employment.
Arbejdere i lande med et højt lønniveau og med en dyr høj social standard trues på deres eksistens af arbejdere fra lande med et lavt løn- og socialniveau, først og fremmest i den arbejdsintensive, ekstremt konjunkturafhængige bygge branche.
The response of this proposed posting directive is to render the legal posting of workers from low-wage countries in high-wage countries uneconomic, by increasing rates of pay.
Det er derfor nødvendigt at sikre, at der principielt betales den samme løn for det samme arbejde på samme sted, og om muligt fra den første arbejdsdag.
Restricting legal posting in this way would therefore not make the slightest contribution to combatting the main evil, namely illegal employment.
Nußbaumer (NI). - (DE) Det er ubetinget nødvendigt at foretage en retlig normering først og fremmest af de finansielle rammebetingelser ved udstationering af arbejdstagere som led i udførelsen af tjenesteydelser i en anden medlemsstat for at modvirke den løndumping, der er opstået inden for Fællesskabet.
As the Commission pointed out in its recent communication to Parliament, the common position now contains a number of important features which reflect the amend ments that were proposed by Parliament in February 1993.
På grund af den massive sabotering af nationale lønninger opstår der i nogle regioner, især i byggebranchen, et unaturlig lavt arbejdsudbud for det respektive arbejdsmarked.
In this very complex field of rules governing conflicts of laws applicable to employment contracts, we have man aged to arrive at a text which is both realistic and maintains an essential balance between economic freedoms and the rights of workers.
Desuden opstår der i den indbyrdes konkurrence mellem enkelte virksomheder en kraftig konkurrencefordrejning.
In the light of all that, the Commission cannot accept the amendments before us today whose content is likely to jeopardize what we think is a very hard won balance.
Rådets direktiv forsøger nu at reducere løndumpingen og på de frie tjenesteydelsers område reducere fordrejningen til et for alle arbejdstagere konkurrenceneutralt niveau.
The adoption of contractual or national minimum rates of pay not only serves to eliminate the wage-cost benefits of posting workers from low-wage countries in high-wage countries; more significantly, it also becomes impossible, or at least much more difficult, for posted workers to find employment in host countries which have higher wage levels.
Kritikerne af en sådan ordning indskyder altid den bemærkning, at ved en sådan ordning relativeres en af de fire fundamentale friheder i det indre marked, nemlig den frie bevægelighed for personer.
There was reference to the question of ro-ro services, by Mr d'Aboville in particular.
Det kan godt være, men jeg vil her geme sige ganske tydeligt: Dette direktiv er et nødven digt regulativ til at korrigere ekstremt negative følger af •den frie konkurrence.
I have to say that roll-on/roll-off services do not involve posting within the meaning of this particular directive.
Med denne ordning skal der opnås en beskyttelse af arbejderne i værtslandet.
It is not an appropriate instrument for dealing with any problems arising in that connection and we cannot accept that amendment on that account.
Og jeg er sikker på, at omsætteisen af udstationeringsdirektivet ikke vil udligne den konkurrencefordel, som arbejdere i lande med et lavt lønniveau har på det frie arbejdsmarked. Så vidt går direktivet i den foreliggende version da heller ikke.
In such a case workers are not posted within the meaning of the directive and, moreover, the law of flag generally applies to ro-ro vessels.
Derfor er den bestemmelse vigtig i direktivet, at den pågældende nationale stat selv kan bestemme reguleringen inden for en måned.
However, Article 48 of the EC Treaty, in conjunction with Article 7a, second paragraph, of the Treaty, secures the freedom of workers to obtain employment on their own terms in any Member State.
Det skal nemlig fortsat være overladt til den nationale stat, om den straks ved en tjenesteydelses påbegyndelse indfører en sådan ordning uden nogen over gangsfrist overhovedet eller venter højst en måned.
This right of free movement is a cornerstone of the completion of the internal market, and it applies even to posted workers working in another country under the terms of employment of their home country.
Det er nu op til de enkelte nationalstater at forcere omsætteisen af dette direktiv.
This right would in practice become virtually impossible to exercise if the proposed posting directive came into effect.
Jeg er enig med ordføreren i, at den praktiske virkning af direktivet i det væsenuige afhænger af de nationalstatsligt anvendte kontrolinstrumenters effektivitet.
To impede or complicate the exercising of this right would unacceptably undermine the right to freedom of movement.
Det er op til Kommissionen at holde øje med de enkelte stater ved omsætteisen, og jeg håber, at den beretning, som Kommissionen vil forelægge for Par lamentet om nogle år, fastholder, at løndumping ikke længere er noget problem netop på følsomme arbejdsmarkedsområder. kedsområder.
Unilaterally excluding wage costs as a factor of competition w.ould suppress competition to the detriment of foreign serviceproviders in the construction industry, thereby infringing one of the fundamental principles of the Euro pean internal market.
Schiedermeier (PPE). - (DE) Kære hr. formand, kære kolleger, direktivet om udstationering af arbejdstagere som led i udveksling af tjenesteydelser er absolut påkrævet.
Flynn, Member of the Commission. - Mr President, first of all I would like to offer my thanks to Mr Peter for his excellent report.
Jeg vil gerne belyse de arbejderes forhold, der kommer til os fra Storbritannien og Portugal eller fra de østeuropæiske lande.
Flynn it will not prove popular unless wages remain broadly unchanged. Is this possible?
Jeg spørger mig, hvor er her menneskeværdigheden henne?
By the same token, all the governments are running budget deficits and cannot tolerate any increase in them.
Jeg har den opfattelse, at der nu omsider skal ske en ligestilling af arbejdstagerne inden for og uden for EU.
with quite a fine tooth-comb and also the action taken in the event of failure to comply with the directive.
I øvrigt er der ingen, der taler om, at der her også er tale om en konkurrencefordrejning.
Similarly, the Commission will also be vigilant in checking the steps taken by the Member States to make the information referred to in Article 4 generally available.
Nogle EU-lande har allerede truffet strålende forholdsregler for at forhindre sådanne forhold.
We have done this on a number of occasions in the past, quite success fully.
De andre indkasserer gevinsterne, fordi de hidtil ikke har udstedt sådanne bestemmelser.
In addition, the Commission is prepared to help out the Member States in seeking the appropriate means for facilitating the application of the directive.
Jeg mener, Kom missionen skal forhindre sådanne konkurrencefordrejninger.
Finally, I would like to thank all of those who have been very generous in their praise of the Commissioner and of the Council in finally putting to bed this very important piece of legislation.
Det er det, den er der for.
President - The debate is closed.
Jeg vil gerne påpege, at den fælles holdning viser det berettigede i den kamp, som føres af de europæiske fagforeninger og af fagforeningerne i de mest berørte lande. Men der er altid et aber dabei. For så vidt som direktivet stiller de største krav til byggebranchen, diskriminerer det på en vis måde andre aktivitetsområder.
At the request of the PPE Group, I have agreed not to mention this enormous sum in the text of the resolution, because assessments vary; but I would ask you to note its size.
At medlemsstaterne får mulighed for at undlade at anvende visse bestemmelser vil kunne føre til forskelsbehandling mellem forskellige aktivitetsområder, virksomheder og ar bejdstagere.
The money saved could be made available to firms to allow them to compensate - to the tune of 85 % or 95 %, as determined by negotiation - for any loss of earnings.
Jeg vil gerne rette en udtrykkelig tak til hr. Peter og kommissæren for, at de nu har sat skub i tingene.
President - The next item is the report (A4-0207/96) by Mr Rocard, on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment, on a reduction in working hours.
Medieinteressen, hr. formand, vil jeg også geme komme ind på.
Rocard (PSE), rapporteur. - (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, five minutes is scarcely enough time to consider ways of solving the problem of unemployment!
Hvis vi talte om det europæiske aktieselskab, ville der her være repræsenteret en række tv-selskaber.
I shall refrain from criticizing our procedures here, because I know the reasons for them, but we must admit that they sometimes verge on the ridiculous.
Endelig kan muligheden for at fastsætte arbejds- og ansættelsesvilkår ved kollektive aftaler eller voldgiftskendelser, sådan som den er formuleret, resultere i manglende ligebehandling af nationale og udenlandske virksomheder, som kan præstere den samme tjenesteydelse.
The new idea to be studied would be to alter social security contributions, and perhaps on occasion - for instance in the United Kingdom and Denmark - company taxation: these charges could be drastically cut by almost a half for a working week of less than 32 hours, and more than doubled for one of over 32 hours.
For vort vedkommende kan vi fuldt ud gå ind for foranstaltninger, der tager sigte på at bekæmpe social dumping og udbytning af arbejdstagerne, men vi kan ikke acceptere, at der via sådanne foranstaltninger diskrimineres mod portugisiske virksomheder, som opererer på det fælles marked, og i endnu mindre grad acceptere, at identiske foranstaltninger ikke finder anvendelse på virksomheder fra tredjelande.
The calculation would have to be such that a company which neither changed its workforce nor its working hours would pay the same social charges -we are not in the business of increasing deficits - but a company which did significantly reduce working time would make substantial savings on its social costs. These funds could be used to compensate for loss of earnings, enabling the company not only to maintain the number of their employees, but also and above all to recruit new ones, thereby cutting the expenditure of the public authorities and social security institutions.
Amadeo (NI). - (LT) Hr. formand, med dette forslag tilsigtes en samordning af medlemsstaternes lovgivning med henblik på at indføre tvingende regler, der skal overholdes af de virksomheder, der udstationerer deres arbejdstagere i en anden unionsmedlemsstat. Denne har monisering, der pr. definition overskrider medlemsstater nes territoriale kompetence, kræver særlig opmærksomhed fra selve Unionens side.
The motion for a resolution before the House today for the debate and tomorrow for the vote has only one purpose: to ask the Commission to study in depth, using all the modern econometric and computer-based methods, the feasibility and effectiveness of a new policy of social taxation designed to promote a marked reduction in working time so as to reduce unemployment substantially.
Vi beklager, at der er gået så lang tid som seks år siden forelæggelsen af det første kommissionsforslag til direktiv med den heraf følgende forsinkelse af iværksættelsen af de absolut nødvendige foranstaltninger til bekæmpelse af den sociale dumping på det indre marked.
Mass unemployment is devastating Europe. There is no reason to believe that it will decline substantially in the years ahead: the technological revolution is still destroying huge numbers of jobs, and the latest version of it, the 'information' revolution, is only just starting to have what everyone knows will be a disastrous effect.
Jeg fremhæver dette aspekt som en opfordring til Kommissionen, Rådet og medlemsstaterne om at lægge behørig vægt på den sociale dimension i den europæiske integrationsproces.
The services sector long ago stopped absorbing surplus labour from industry and agriculture.
Lad os understrege, at direktivet ikke har til formål at harmonisere medlemsstaternes materielle regler vedrørende retten til arbejde og de andre vilkår, hvorunder det foregår, men har til formål at samordne reglerne netop ved at fastsætte en række prioriteter.
It is our hope that a large majority in the House will endorse what is not European legislation, but a request for an idea to be studied.
Det må håbes, at Kommissionen efterlever ordførerens opfordring til at aflægge en beretning senest fem år efter dette direktivs ikrafttrædelse.
That is why we have agreed, at the request of the PPE and Liberal Groups, to change the title of the text from 'Resolution on a reduction in working hours' to 'Resolution on a reduction and adaptation of working hours'.
Det kan tænkes, at analysen af en sådan beretning vil vise, at vore bekymringer er berettigede.
We have also accepted a series of amendments. You will see these in the text tomorrow; I have no time to describe them now.
Vi er af den opfattelse, at Unionen bør indføre et regelsæt, der regulerer hele området.
But one approach has not been explored in sufficient depth: that of markedly reducing working time.
Konrad (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, det foreliggende direktivforslag - som for øvrigt er forkastet i Rådet af Storbritannien og Portugal - forudsætter et behov for beskyttelse af byggeindustrien i de såkaldte højuønslande og lægger den antagelse til grand, at en udstationering af arbejdstagere fra såkaldte lavtlønslande til højuønslande repræsenterer en løn- og socialdumping, som medfører unfair konkurrencevilkår.
In return, I have asked the Liberal Group - successïully, I believe - to withdraw its accompanying request for the Commission to carry out a study of the effectiveness of subsidized employment, since we are dealing here not with subsidized employment, but with a policy of redistributing social security' contributions, which is by no means the same thing. Let us not confuse matters.
Hovedårsagen til den løn- og socialdumping, der kan iagttages i nogle af de såkaldte højuønslande, er den foruroligende vækst i illegale arbejdsforhold.
Such a process is far too complex to be imposed by law all of a sudden and across the board; it can only result from negotiations at company level.
Forslaget til et udstationeringsdirektiv tilsigter at gøre den legale udstå-
The idea of reducing working hours will only catch on if it proves popular, and
Vi tillægger desuden den oplysnings- og samarbejdspligt mellem medlemsstaterne, der er omhandlet i forslaget, stor betydning, idet denne også skal omfatte medlemsstater, der ikke i Rådet har stemt for denne fælles holdning.
Ladies and gentlemen, the House would bring much credit upon itself by submitting not only to the Commission, but also to public opinion at large, a sound and innovative idea
Konrad tionering af arbejdstagere fra lavuønslande til højuønslande urentabel ved at forøge lønnen.

balance mellem arbejdstagernes økonomiske friheder og rettigheder.
which just might be effective at long last in combatting unemployment.
Det er ikke et passende instrument til at håndtere problemer, der måtte opstå i denne forbindelse, og vi kan derfor ikke acceptere ændringsforslaget.
Although, follow ing the Essen Summit, governments have been instituting concerted policies on growth, training, labour market flexibility and social security reform, we have not given enough attention to the issue of working time and what contribution it can make to tackling our unemployment problem.
