".
On the occasion of Mr Markov’s report, I wish to protest against the state of European legislation, which is notoriously inadequate (both in terms of working time, and working conditions and pay) in properly ensuring road safety for all.
The European Union has chosen a method that sets possible limits for working time and a few minimum social rules. It does, however, offer the possibility of better regulations in certain Member States. In reality, however, this system causes social dumping, as the free competition of services leads to carriers from countries where there is a better social framework being penalised. As a result, the pursuit of competitiveness exerts pressure, in terms of the deterioration of working conditions and pay in these countries, and this is not acceptable.
The European Union ought to have instituted a different process, of upward harmonisation, by a system of progressive social convergence. This strategy ought to have inextricably linked the creation of a base level (one that is more favourable than that used at present) and the obligation for a progressive reconciliation towards the highest level. This is not what is planned, and the situation arising from European legislation cannot be accepted."@en1
