"Mr President, at the moment in Ireland we are debating the pros and cons of the Lisbon Treaty and there are conflicting interpretations of the recent rulings from the Court of Justice and their implications for the protection of workers and workers’ rights.
While I know we do not have a final ruling on the Laval case, I would ask the Commissioner to briefly outline his reaction to the situation and his views as to how the transposition and implementation of the Posting of Workers Directive in Sweden in particular has impacted on the judgment on the Laval case.
A previous speaker, Mr Andersson, made the very valid point that, if a woman was paid 46% of what a man was paid for doing the same work in the same country, it would be considered as discrimination. Yet this seems to be sanctioned by the courts when it comes to workers from different countries doing the same work in the same country. Again, I would like the Commissioner’s comments as to how the transposition and implementation of the Directive impacted on this situation.
Finally, I listened very carefully to what the Commissioner said when he spoke about guaranteeing the rights of workers and combating social dumping, but I am not entirely satisfied that his proposals and suggestions will accomplish that aim, and I look forward to hearing more robust proposals from the Commission."@en1
