"I would like to congratulate Mr Cabrnoch for his excellent report, which was adopted by the lead committee, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, with one abstention. Mr Cabrnoch has mastered the art of bringing people together: even in the Council, there is broad support. Cross-border mobility is increasing in the internal market, and national legislation is still not keeping pace. The national social security systems need to be better coordinated. The report achieved clarification in respect of the law governing posted workers and in respect of unemployment insurance. A breakthrough has been achieved for flight attendants, something that is of particular importance for me as an MEP representing Frankfurt. My amendments have been adopted. This means that the home base will become the legal basis and thus the sole criterion for the application of social security law. An airline whose flight attendants are stationed in Germany must apply local social security law and cannot either change social security contributions or circumvent requirements for the establishment of works councils. Loopholes allowing the avoidance of higher social security standards are thus being closed. Time and practical experience will tell whether this warning shot from Strasbourg has been understood. A social market economy includes reasonable social standards. Competition on prices cannot be at the expense of the crews, who bear the hefty responsibility for the quality and safety of flights. The Cabrnoch report is thus also in the interests of passengers."@en1
