"Mr President, last week, the Troika asked Greece to work six days a week. Greece is at the end of its tether and the Troika appears to be ignoring some basic facts. The OECD calculated working times for all its member countries in its last report. Greece works longer hours than anyone else: 2 032 hours a year. Apart from that, however, the Troika is trying yet again to interfere in labour legislation; this worries me and not only in connection with Greece. I am worried because the Commission priorities again include a review of the Working Time Directive. I would remind the House that, when it tried to review that directive in the previous parliamentary term, the European Parliament stood its ground. I shall therefore close by quoting Commission President Barroso, who said: ‘It would be a mistake from all points of view to try to dismantle the welfare state and our social models and this is especially important for countries that are under programme’."@en1
