".
The global crisis is affecting the fundamental rights of workers and, as a result, there is an increasingly large demand by European citizens for a social Europe. European governments, however, continue to ignore this reality. I am therefore delighted by the adoption today of the Working Time Directive, which can provide a response to these social changes. This is a strong message sent by the European Parliament to the Council. Governments must now accept their responsibilities and meet the expectations of our fellow citizens.
Indeed, this text provides
for the establishment of a working week that cannot, in any circumstances, exceed 48 hours throughout the European Union. It sets a maximum limit for all of Europe, which will not affect States that have more favourable provisions. Other measures include counting on-call time, including inactive periods, as working time. Lastly, we can also be pleased with the removal of the opt-out clause."@en1
