". In principle I do agree with the majority of views and arguments expressed in this report. However in Malta many workers work long hours because they need to do so either to make financial ends meet or to fulfil other commitments.
In certain areas the Directive is inflexible and would have adverse repercussions on our small Island economy and to all its stakeholders.
The implementation of this report could damage our attempts to try to retain and possible create jobs without eroding the social model.
Workers choice and competitiveness, on the one hand, and the effective delivery of public health care and safety on the other, are both vital for the wellbeing of the Maltese people and it is not possible to trade one of against the other.
Its crucial for Malta therefore, to retain the individual's right to choose to opt out.
This position enjoys broad consensus in Malta, including the trade unions.
A wide spectrum of our population do not see the report as being beneficial for Malta. For these reasons I feel therefore, that is not yet opportune for me to vote in favour of this report."@en1
