The report now before us concerns the review of the Directive on the organisation of working time: reference periods and self-exclusion clauses, better known as ‘opt-out’ clauses.
In 1993, the United Kingdom negotiated an opt-out clause authorising specific Member States not to implement the 48-hour maximum working week in certain circumstances
Although these clauses are not exclusive to the United Kingdom, it is there that they are used most frequently.
The 1993 Directive does, however, establish a 48-hour maximum working week, thereby according basic protection for most workers, the main exception being managers.
While there are reservations, the approval of various amendments has limited the most excessive aspects of what the rapporteur proposes. I therefore voted in favour."@en1
