"The legislative provisions we are discussing today could improve the lives of more than one million European citizens working in another Member State as suppliers of services or posted workers.
In particular the provisions of Article 3 of the Directive are not implemented entirely in every European Union Member State. Work health and safety standards, the maximum number of working hours and the minimum period of leave or maternity benefits are not implemented when it comes to posted workers.
Moreover, the minimum wage provided by the host country legislation should be guaranteed. Nevertheless, this last issue makes very many companies resort to alternative labour contracts, which automatically prevent the payment of lower wages.
Moreover, it has become a practice for many European companies to hire workers from new Member States and send them abroad as posted workers for a period that can be extended up to 24 months, thus taking advantage of the differences existing as to the payment of contributions to social insurance.
I end by saying that this type of social dumping must be stopped by implementing all the provisions of the Directive on the posting of workers."@en1
