lpv:translated text	". I abstained during the vote on the Cercas report on the revision of the Working Time Directive. The approved compromise text cannot be considered as progress for social Europe. We will need to remain very vigilant about holding onto social achievements. Firstly, the directive’s guiding principle is flexibility, not workers’ health and safety. Secondly, even if the opt-out which allows Member States to deviate from the working time provisions will lapse in time (three years), this does not prevent Member States, at their request, from having working time stipulated on the basis of individual contracts and thus from by-passing social guarantees of negotiated agreements for three years. Thirdly, the possibility of annualising working time also by means of legislation is the undoing of an exclusive right for social consultation. Although Parliament describes stand-by time (on-call duty) as working time, the inactive part of stand-by time can be calculated in a ‘specific way’ (via a collective agreement or statutory arrangement), without there being guarantees for the workers involved. Moreover, the division between active and inactive stand-by time is also threatening to extend to other sectors."@en1
