".
The Bolkestein directive aimed at social dumping and deregulation. The Socialist Group in the European Parliament has succeeded in turning this directive into its precise opposite.
Legally founded obligations in the interests of workers from a given country and from elsewhere (mandatory contributions to trade associations, holiday funds, etc.) must apply to those performing services both at home and across frontiers.
Nothing must be done that might provide an opening for quasi-self-employment. Rules on the award of public contracts that stipulate quality standards must remain in full force.
The country-of-origin principle has been dropped, to be replaced by indiscriminate market access. The labour laws of the place where the services are performed are to apply.
The directive on the posting of workers continues to apply without restriction and it will be necessary to amend it.
Derogations are in place for temporary work and contracting. We call on the Council to desist from standing in the way of European legislation.
The directive does not apply to services of general interest, and only in part to those of general economic interest. We call for a European framework directive with separate provisions applicable to this essential sector.
As the legislative process continues, a number of aspects will need attention.
For example, the fundamental freedoms of workers, as defined in the EU’s ‘Monti clause’, will need to take precedence over the rules of business life.
The rights of codecision and codetermination, being founded upon the law, must not be undermined.
Due regard shall consistently be had to the legitimate interests of the common good, as defined by Article 4.7a in conformity with the jurisprudence of the ECJ."@en1
