lpv:translated text	"The EU has a long history of devising minimum rules for the organisation of working time. The British opt-out in this area has, unfortunately, been ever increasingly turned into almost a principal rule, because 33% of employees in Great Britain have signed agreements to the effect that they are prepared to work more than 48 hours per week. There are tendencies for this now to spread to more countries, entailing a risk to employees’ health and undermining safety in the workplace. We Christian Democrats do not wish to support such a development. It was therefore crucial that I voted in favour of the new wording of paragraph 12, the two parts of which were adopted by, respectively, 275 votes in favour and 229 against (with 9 abstentions) and 335 votes in favour and 155 against (with 21 abstentions). This means that the time limit on the British opt-out is now to be phased out. Amendment No 28 involves a long-term solution to the problem of doctors’ hours on call being discussed in the next stage of consultation, something I supported because the result would otherwise be demands for approximately 3 000 new doctors in Sweden and an unsustainable funding situation for the county councils."@en1
