"Mr President, two things. First of all, I should like to tell the Commission that I am pleased about the amendments that are being supported. I am rather annoyed that the Commission has not thought along the same lines as the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs regarding Amendments Nos 3 and 5, because they specifically emphasise the efforts at prevention I tried to emphasise in my speech. I therefore hope that the Commission will reconsider them. I would also ask the Commission to give us a little help today in responding to something said by Mr Bushill-Matthews and Mr Pronk. Could the Commission first of all explain to these gentlemen that there is also something called sustainable development within employment and that, when we talk about wanting a proper working environment and proper health and safety regulations, what in actual fact we want is a sustainable labour market from which people are not excluded? Mr Bushill-Matthews must also agree with me that, in the long term, what is economically most sustainable is not to have a whole lot of people sitting on the ‘reserve bench’. And, talking about a ‘reserve bench’, I also wish to address Mr Pronk and ask the Commission to help me a little. Could the Commission explain to Mr Pronk once and for all that people who play football or go to football matches will not be affected by this directive? And perhaps we could also, once and for all, have the lobbyists locked out of this House."@en1
